Study the right course, or miss out: Canada revises post-study work permit courses for international students

Canada has revised its Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) course list, adding 119 programs and removing 178 to align with labour market needs. Effective for study permit applicants from November 1, 2024, the move prioritises healthcare, skilled trades, and education-related fields. The reform marks a strategic shift, linking student migration more directly to national workforce demands.
