Applying for a Post-Graduate Work Permit for Graduating International Students:

  1. Check that all degree requirements have been met and that all of your grades are posted on your student profile online.
  2. Submit a letter request form and indicate “Other: PGWP Letter” and submit to Student Services in person (W262) or via email (studentservices@schulich.yorku.ca). Please do not submit your letter request form until all of your grades are posted. The average processing time is 3-5 business days but may be higher during peak periods.
  3. Review application information and complete the online application questionnaire.
  4. Check current processing times. Note: PGWP processing times fall under “work permit- new employer”, however, a job offer is not required to apply.
  5. You may apply for a new Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or Social Insurance Number (SIN) once you receive your PGWP.
