The Post Graduate Work Permit Program allows students who have graduated from a participating Canadian post-secondary institution to gain valuable Canadian work experience.
As well, skilled Canadian work experience gained through the Post Graduate Work Permit Program helps graduates qualify for permanent residence in Canada through the Canadian Experience Category (CEC).
To work in Canada after you graduate, you must apply for a work permit under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP). If you want to stay in Canada as a permanent resident after you graduate, there are a number of programs available, each with its own requirements.
Note that if you studied in Canada without the proper authorization, you are not eligible for the post-graduate work permit program. Also, this time studied will not count towards any further applications like the Canadian Experience Class.

The post-graduate work permit is a relatively new program in Canada that would allow international students to be able to obtain a work permit under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program.
In addition, the duration of the work permit has been extended to three years across the country. Previously, the program only allowed international students to work for one or two years, depending on location. As nothing is ever really straightforward when applying to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, you should consult with a legal immigration representative to determine the best way to go about achieving your goals.
A Post Graduation Work Permit cannot be valid longer than the official length of your program of study in Canada. For example, students graduating from a four-year degree program might be eligible for a three-year work permit. Students graduating from an eight-month certificate program would only be eligible for a work permit of 1 year.
The duration of study will have an impact on the duration of your post-graduate work permit.
