01:17highlight which in-demand sectors now make you eligible, and break down the nuances around program relevance, language requirements and officer discretion.
01:27Watch till the end to ensure your chosen program aligns perfectly and maximize your chance for valuable work experience.
01:35Let's begin with what is the PGWP and why the change.
01:45The PGWP allows international students to work in Canada after graduation.
01:51However, it is not a guaranteed right. Approval depends on compliance with study conditions and officer discretion.
01:57The changes reflect Canada's shift towards outcome-driven immigration.
02:03Next, we cover 178 programs removed from eligibility.
02:09Canada has cut 178 study programs from PGWP eligibility, mainly in fields with limited job prospects.
02:17Immigration authorities aim to prevent post-study frustration by filtering out programs that offer little to no career growth within Canada.
02:29Then we move to 119 new fields now qualify for PGWP.
02:35On the bright side, 119 new programs have been added to the PGWP list.
02:42These include areas that were previously excluded but are now seen as essential to the economy.
02:48Up next is in-demand sectors that got the green light.
02:54Fields like healthcare, education, construction, trades, STEM and agriculture are now PGWP eligible.
03:03These sectors face critical labor shortages, making them top priorities for work permit holders and future PR applicants.
03:12We also explore relevance, language and officer discretion.
03:18Students must still meet all conditions including full-time study, program relevance and language requirements.
03:24PGWP approval remains at the discretion of immigration officers.
03:30And finally, we close with the conclusion.
03:35If you're planning to study in Canada, choosing the right program just became more important than ever.
