International students graduating from Humber are eligible to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). The length of the work permit may be issued based on the length of your program or up to 3 years. The PGWP is an open work permit allowing you to work for any employer in Canada. Your work experiences in Canada may make you eligible for immigration programs like Express Entry if you meet the eligibility requirements.
It is important to begin the application process as soon as possible after receipt of your graduation documents, because processing times can be lengthy at times.
Graduation documents are typically available from Humber four to six weeks after the end of a semester. For example, students who complete their program in April should expect to receive graduation documents in early June.
Important: Please note that Humber is a publicly-funded institution and does not have a public-private partnership. International students approved to study at Humber remain eligible to apply for a PGWP after completing their studies.
Examples of these include your final transcript and confirmation of graduation letter. You have 180 days from the generation of these documents to apply.
