Demystifying Your PGWP Duration

Applying for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) in Canada is a major step for international students, but figuring out your permit’s exact length can be confusing. The rules are specific, and the duration of your PGWP depends directly on the length of your study program.

Our PGWP Length Calculator is a simple, free tool designed to give you a clear and accurate estimate of your permit duration. You no longer have to guess or navigate complex government guidelines.

How It Works

This tool follows the official rules set by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to provide an accurate estimate for both single and multiple programs.

• For a Single Program: Simply enter the duration of your program in months.

• For Multiple Programs: Add each program’s duration individually, and the calculator will total the lengths to provide an accurate combined estimate.

The calculator will give you a clear result, along with a brief explanation of why you received that specific duration. Whether you’re eligible for a PGWP equal to your study length or the maximum 3-year permit, this tool will help you plan your next steps with confidence.
