Dear [requester], lam writing to seek clarification regarding the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility for combined programs. completed under the same study permit, where the permit application was submitted and approved before November 1, 2024. According to the IRCC website: https /Awww.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/worW/after-graduation/eligibility. him! If you submitted your study permit application on or after November 1, 2024, you must have graduated in an eligible field of study. This implies that: Students who submitted their study permit applications before November 1, 2024, do not need to meet the field of study requirements. My question is: if a student submitted their study permit application before November 1, 2024, and later transferred to a PGWP- ineligible program at the same designated learning institution (DLI}—thus not requiring a new study permit—and completed the second program under the same permit, would they still be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit? Thank you for your time and assistance. | look forward to your guidance on this matter. [NAME REDACTED] 000047
