On November 19, 2021, the Government of Canada updated the list of post-graduation work permit-eligible (PGWP) programs and institutions. The new list includes Quebec’s institutions that offer programs of at least 900 hours leading to a diploma of vocational studies (DVS) as well as an attestation of vocational specializations (AVS). Since the province provides vocational and professional training programs at public secondary and post-secondary institutions, both of them allow students to get PGWP after successful graduation.

Students’ eligibility for PGWP will be evaluated under the Canada–Quebec Memorandum of Understanding.
