Canada Work Visa: It will no longer be easy for Indian students to study in Canada and get a job there. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government has changed the rules for the Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). The new rules will come into effect from November 1, 2024. The government has set new criteria for post-study work permits. The Canadian government has made these rules to deal with the shortage of workers in specific industries.

The Canadian government also wants to ensure that students know French along with the English language. International students who want to graduate in Canada and get a job there will now have to fulfill the new conditions for a post-study work permit. The new rules have been made very strict, due to which difficulties are going to increase for international students, especially Indians.

The language test will have to be passed for a work permit
The most prominent among the new rules for post-study work visas is the language proficiency test. Students who want to get a job there after completing graduation will now have to prove proficiency in English or French language. For English, students will have to pass one of the CELPIP, IELTS, and PTE tests. For the French language, one will have to take one of the TEF Canada or TCF Canada tests. Bachelor, Master, or Doctoral students will have to achieve Canadian Language Benchmark Level-7 in four abilities reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Application rules for post-study work permits also changed.
After completing studies in Canada, international students have 180 days to apply for a work permit. However, if a student wants to work before getting PGWP, he will have to obtain a valid permit. During the application, the student will have to show his degree, diploma, official transcript, or letter of completion received from the institute.

According to the new rule, graduates will no longer be able to apply for post-graduate work permits at the port of entry. For this, now it should be submitted online from within Canada or abroad. Also, those who wish to work in sectors where medical tests are required will have to opt for a medical examination 90 days before applying for a work permit.
