The Minister of Immigration Canada also said, “This special step is a potential growth in the economy, and will allow more graduates to make their homes. Thank you to all people who collaborate with my team to expand this program, and to international and post -graduate students who continue to choose Canada. “Students who have graduated from the Learning Institution appointed by Canada who are eligible (DLI) meet the requirements to apply for an open work permit through PGWPP, which allows them to get valuable Canadian work experience.
