Immigration Tip of the Week #3!

Will your study permit expire before you graduate?

If you need only one additional term beyond your study permit’s expiry date, plan ahead and apply for your extension at least 6 months in advance.

Planning early can help you:

✅ Avoid unnecessary delays
✅ Maintain your student status
✅ Make sure you have a valid study permit when it’s time to apply for your Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)

Study Smart. Stay Eligible!

Planning to apply for your Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)? Don't wait until the last minute to take your English language test!

✅ Plan to take your test 2–4 months before you submit your PGWP application.

✅ Practice with the free resources available on the official test websites and YouTube.

✅ Remember: You must achieve the CLB 7 equivalent or higher in each language ability (reading, writing, listening, and speaking).
Many students need more than one attempt to achieve the required score. Taking your test early gives you time to improve your results and helps avoid unnecessary delays with your PGWP application.

Need guidance? The IEC Immigration Advising team is here to help!
