Important Updates for International Students

Studying from outside of Canada and Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has provided important updates regarding your ability to study online from your home country, depending on when you start your PGWP-eligible program and how your courses are delivered. These temporary policy changes for PGWP eligibility and studying online end on Dec. 31, 2023

Program and course delivery information for each program is available on program pages.

Please review the PGWP eligibility MySeneca page before choosing your program and course delivery.

Students starting in September 2023

To be eligible for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP), you must complete at least 50 per cent of your program in Canada and meet all other PGWP requirements.

It is highly recommended that you select and attend in-class course options when available. These include hybrid, flexible and in-person.

Time spent studying outside of Canada after Dec. 31, 2023 will be deducted from the length of your PGWP.

Visit the support webpage for upcoming sessions and events for international students. 

Students starting in January 2024

To be eligible for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP), you must:

  • be in Canada for the complete duration of your studies from Jan. 9, 2024 onwards
  • attend at least 50 per cent of your program in class and meet all other PGWP requirements. In class options include in-person, hybrid, and flexible courses. For flexible courses, you must plan to attend your class on campus.
