Inquiry About PGWP Eligibility

[colaref_ange]

My friend completed a Masters in June 2020 in Montreal and then proceeded to a PhD program in Saskatchewan. He is currently in his fourth year of the PhD program but he is considering withdrawing.

Would he still qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) based on their completed master's degree?

Thank you for your time and guidance.

No, too late for that by several years. You need to finish the PhD.

Okay, any other options aside PGWP ?

Most obvious is job offer from Canadian employer + approved LMIA so that you can apply for a closed work permit.
