Immigration News Alert
Canada: End of At-Border Post-Graduation Work Permit
Key Points
- Canada will no longer permit foreign nationals to apply for post-graduation work permits at the country’s border
Overview
The government of Canada announced that foreign nationals will no longer be able to apply for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) at the border, effective immediately. According to the government, these measures will reduce “flag poling,” which occurs when temporary residents of Canada bypass normal wait times when applying for a work or study permit online.
At the same time, the government will continue to improve processing times and move toward a more integrated, modernized, and centralized working environment to help speed up application processing globally.
