Frequently asked questions

Do I need a PAL?

Most undergraduate applicants currently need a Provincial Attestation Letter. We confirm requirements per province and program level during consultation.

Can I work while studying?

Eligible full-time students can generally work off-campus within IRCC's current weekly limit. We'll review what applies to your study program.

When should I plan PGWP?

Ideally before your final semester. PGWP eligibility depends on program length, DLI status and continuous study.
