Former International students 

• Who are currently in Canada on a expiring
  Post-Graduation Work Permit can get a new open
  work permit under a public policy that takes
  effect today.
• A new policy that permits former international
  students to get a new one-time open work permit
  if theirs is about to finish takes effect today.
• Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
  (IRCC) is now receiving applications presented by
  former international students who want to acquire
  a new open work permit if their Post-Graduate
  Work Permit (PGWP) is expired or about to expire.
• The new open work permits will be legitimate for
  18 months.

• Skilled worker immigration programs highly value
  education and work experience that is acquired in
  Canada. Express Entry, Quebec Experience Program,
  the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), and other
  pathways put highly value on Canadian work
  experience. Express Entry applicants, for
  example, are given extra Comprehensive Ranking
  System (CRS) points based on their Canadian study
  and work experience.
• For students with very less or no work
  experience, having Canadian work experience and
  being already integrated into a local labour
  market can often be the deciding element in
  determining whether they will be qualified for
  permanent residence under Canadas immigration
  programs.
• Former international students who want to make
  the move to permanent residence in Canada often
  depend on the PGWP to accomplish this objective.
