Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP)

Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP):Apply without final transcript


You can submit an application for PGWP without your letter of completion or final transcript.

When IRCC processes the application, the documents will be requested by the processing officer as per the procedures for requests for additional documents on open applications.


Foreign nationals who study in Quebec are not required to have a valid Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) when submitting a PGWP application. As the PGWP is an open work permit and Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) exempt, a valid CAQ or study permit is not required at the time of PGWP issuance.

If foreign nationals are applying for a PGWP and their study permit has expired, they are permitted to apply to restore their status as a student without a CAQ and apply for the PGWP at the same time, as the CAQ is not required for the PGWP.
