I wanted to ask if I plan to do another course after my current one which ends in August and want to apply for Jan intake (since September intakes are pretty much full.), would that break between September and January affect my 3 year post graduate work permit?
Regarding 3 year PGWP
- Thread starter TaranSingh
- Start date
No but you would have to either leave Canada or apply for a visitor permit as you are only allowed to stay 90 days after finishing your program.
Incorrect.

Students who have completed a program of study and will be starting a new program of study within 150 days of receiving a written confirmation of program completion from their current institution
Students may work off campus on a full-time basis until the start of their new program if the following applies:
- they meet the eligibility criteria to work off campus [R186(v)]
- they have received written confirmation of program completion from their current institution (for instance, a transcript or an official letter)
- they have submitted an application to change conditions, extend their stay or remain in Canada as a student before their current study permit expired, or they still have a valid study permit
- they have been issued a letter of acceptance to a subsequent program of full-time study at a DLI and will be starting the new program within 150 calendar days of receiving a notification of program completion from their current institution
