Per IRCC policies, a student may be eligible for PGWP if they complete a PGWP eligible program and apply for
PGWP within 180 days of completing their studies. Further, a student may complete more than one PGWP
eligible program within two years ("program stacking") and be eligible for a PGWP of the combined duration of
both programs.
Question:
A student obtains a two-year study permit to complete two consecutive one-year programs. Program #1
is [requester] #2 is not eligible for PGWP..
* *Once the student has completed both programs, will they be eligible to apply for PGWP based on
program #1?
* *Does the 180-day PGWP application period follow the completion of studies? Or the completion of
PGWP-eligible studies?
* *When stacking programs, is it necessary that the final program completed be PGWP-eligible in order to
apply for PEWP?
Thank you for your time and consideration on this topic
Kind regards,
