Students need to provide supporting documents, such as their acceptance letter, proof of financial support, a valid passport, and any additional requirements specific to their country of residence.
4. Duration of Study Permit: The Study Permit is typically issued for the duration of the study program, including an additional period for post-graduation work permit eligibility. Students must ensure their Study Permit remains valid throughout their studies and apply for extensions if necessary.
5. Work Opportunities: With a valid Study Permit, students may be eligible to work on or off campus while studying in Canada. This allows them to gain valuable work experience and support themselves financially during their studies.

The PGWP allows graduates to work in Canada for a specified period, gaining Canadian work experience that may contribute to their eligibility for permanent residency.
