Generally 12 months of full-time skilled work (TEER 0/1/2/3) within the past 3 years may qualify you for the Canadian Experience Class. Final eligibility is reviewed case by case.

Can I get a second PGWP?

PGWP is generally one-time, though specific public policies and other work permits may keep you working. We'll review what currently applies.

Should I apply for PR before my PGWP expires?
