If you wish to stay and work in Canada for a certain period of time after completed studies in this country, there is a possibility to apply for Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
Post-Graduation Work visa allows you to live and work full-time in Canada for a certain period of time and to gain valuable work experience in Canada. Experience you gain during your stay can help you qualify for permanent residence in Canada.
This type of visa can last from 9 months up to 3 years. The duration of your Post-Graduate Work visa depends on the duration of the study program you took in Canada.
If your study program lasted 9 months, you will get Post-Graduation Work visa for 9 months. In case the program you attended lasted between 9 months and 2 years, the duration of your visa will be the same period of time as your studies. If your studies lasted 2 years and more you can get Post-Graduation Work visa on a period of three years.
You can apply for Post-graduation Work visa online via website of Canada’s immigration service.
Visa fee for the processing of Post-Graduate Work visa application is 255CAD and average processing time is minimum 69 days.

Elena helped us to fulfill our dreams so I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of studying and living in Australia. She was extremely professional during the whole procedure and visa application so it was my pleasure to work with her.
Elena is a wonderful person who was patently answering on all questions and who was not giving false hope. She was always positive and trustworthy.
Future Option met all our expectations. My husband and I were not sure whether it would be possible to get a student visa. However, they made every effort to ensure that all documents were in the best order. Even now, when we got the visa, Future Option team provides us support and is available for all the questions we have. Best recommendations for this agency!
I am really satisfied with Elena's professional approach. Her support, counseling and commitment were on a very high level through the whole process of gathering documents and visa application.
Very professional, quick in processing all documents, available on the phone and via email at any time, responsive and pleasant to work with!
I would like to thank Elena on the amazing service she gave me through the whole process. This was huge step for me and in every moment I had Elena's full support.
