Can you stay and work in Canada after graduation?

Yes, if you meet the requirements for an appropriate work permit. A PGWP can allow you to work in Canada after completing an eligible programme, potentially for up to three years. Relevant factors include the type and length of your studies, the institution, how the programme was delivered and whether you meet the language requirements. Completing a course at a college or university does not automatically qualify you for a PGWP, and the permit itself does not grant permanent residence.
