Canada Keeps PGWP Eligible List Unchanged for 2026

Canada Keeps PGWP Eligible List Unchanged for 2026

Canada's immigration department has said that the list of programs that let students work in Canada after graduation will not change in 2026.

This list, called the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) eligible list, includes programs in areas like healthcare, education, and trades.

The department had planned to change this list, but now it will stay the same.

This is good news for students because they can be sure which programs will let them work in Canada after they finish studying.

Students with bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degrees don't have to worry about this rule.

The list has 1,107 programs right now.
