Earlier this year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced significant changes to the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) program, study permit eligibility, and work permit rules. In response PACE has conducted a thorough review of our offerings based on their new requirements, below you will find the list of our PGWP eligible programs.

While some programs are not yet included, PACE remains dedicated to aligning with Manitoba's in-demand occupations and will share updates as more programs achieve PGWP eligibility. Discussions between the Government of Manitoba and the Government of Canada are ongoing

 Please check back regularly for updates as new programs are added to this list.

Important Things to Note for PACE Students:

• If you are a current international student at PACE and meet the language proficiency requirements, you are still eligible to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), regardless of your program.

• International students applying for study permits before November 1, 2024, will be eligible to apply for a PGWP upon graduation, regardless of which PACE program you are enrolled in.

• If you are applying for a study permit after November 1, 2024, you must enroll in a PACE program that is identified as PGWP-eligible in order to work in Canada after graduation.

We are dedicated to providing programs that align with your post-graduation career aspirations. As we work to expand the list of PGWP-eligible programs, we encourage you to check back for updates. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us at applytopace@uwinnipeg.ca.
