你以为顺利毕业就能拿到工签？不要太天真！ICCRC持牌移民顾问详细解读毕业工签的那些重要条件！,加拿大特价机票旅游资讯在线微信公众号文章

这是一个看似简单的签证申请，但却会因为你的“”轻视“而拿到”意外”的结果。比如：有的申请人只能拿到一年或两年工签，还有申请人甚至拿不到工签。这种“偶尔”如果发生在申请人身上一次，既是100%的发生。谁也不想辛苦读书，待毕业后在工签申请上出现问题。网上有流传着各种段子，下面由我们ICCRC持牌移民顾问详细解读毕业工签的那些重要条件！

The Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP) allows students who have graduated from a participating Canadian post-secondary institution to gain valuable Canadian work experience. Skilled Canadian work experience gained through the PGWPP helps graduates qualify for permanent residence in Canada through the Canadian experience class.

正确理解PGWP项目 (Post Graduation Work Permit Program)

毕业工签项目，旨在允许从加拿大本地学校毕业的学生积累在加拿大的工作经验。通过此项目积累的相关工作经验，在通过经验类移民申请永久居民时，也会起到帮助的作用。

所以，对于大多数国际留学生从CIC认可的DLI学校中毕业的，都在此项目范围内，既俗称的“工签或工作许可”（我们以下称为“工签”）。工签在PGWPP项目下的最长有效期长度为3年。工签长度不可以超过学生的学业长度（学业课程至少要在8个月或以上）

申请条件看起来很简单，可实际申请时又有很多不确定的信息，作为加拿大注册持牌移民顾问的Kevin Zhang（Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant ）将通过丰富的申请经验来正确解读工签的那些事儿。

如果你有以下几种情况，将不符合毕业工签的申请：

You aren't eligible to apply for a PGWP if you:

studied in a program that was less than eight months long
studied for more than eight months but not continuously (for example, you took a semester off)
took part in a Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship Program funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC)
took part in a Government of Canada Awards Program funded by GAC
had funding from GAC
took part in the Equal Opportunity Scholarship, Canada-Chile
took part in the Canada-China Scholars Exchanges Program
took part in the Organization of American States Fellowships Program
completed a study program by distance learning either from abroad or from within Canada or
already had a post-graduation work permit following any other program of study.

以上几种情况包括学业长度短于8个月，学业长度超过8个月但并非连续性在上课（譬如中途休学），通过GAC资助的，中加学者交流项目的，上的是远程课程，或曾经有过毕业工签的。

这里面最让小伙伴们揪心的莫过于其中这条，

studied for more than eight months but not continuously (for example, you took a semester off)

从加拿大注册移民顾问Kevin Zhang在以往此类申请案例经验，政策和规章制度永远是黑纸白字写在那里，这是一个大框架，要按照框架内的条件和规则去申请。但现实中又有很多意想不到的事情发生，譬如：申请人因身体不适回国看病或治疗，因暑假没有可注册的课程，或因国内有要事处理，或很多“不得不”的理由等等。这些并非申请人主观原因所导致的休学或有意不上课。只要论据充足，解释得通，并让签证官在审理时相信和理解你的陈述，就不会被轻易的判处“死刑”。

那么谁又可以申请毕业工签呢？

To get a post-graduation work permit, you must:

be 18 or older when you apply
have continuously studied full-time in Canada in a study program at least eight months long
have a document from your school (transcript, official letter, certificate, etc.) that confirms you completed and passed all your program requirements
have graduated from a:

public post-secondary school, such as a college, trade/technical school or university, or CEGEP in Quebec or
private post-secondary school that operates under the same rules as public schools (currently applies only to certain private post-secondary institutions in Quebec) or
private secondary or post-secondary school (in Quebec) that offers qualifying programs of 900 hours or longer, leading to a diplôme d’études professionnelles (DEP) or an attestation de spécialisation professionnelle (ASP) or
Canadian private school that can legally award degrees under provincial law (for example, Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate degree) but only if you are enrolled in a study programs leading to a degree as authorized by the province

apply for a work permit within 90 days of when it was confirmed that you completed your program and
have a valid study permit when you apply for the work permit.

（此官方信息来自http://www.cic.gc.ca/）

这些是在申请工签前必须符合的条件，包括年满18岁以上，有连续性的全职地学业课程不少于8个月，有学校的官方信件证明毕业，所毕业的学校符合移民局的要求，一旦确认完成所有课程后在90天内申请工签，和申请工签时需要持有有效的学签。

Kevin Zhang再次强调最后两点，

Apply for a work permit within 90 days of when it was confirmed that you completed your program and

尤为注意的是：这里所说的是一旦确认毕业所需的全部课程完成后的90天内，并非毕业后的90天内。譬如毕业证明信（Official Graduation Notification），此信通常会在参加毕业典礼前即可获得，或全部课程的最终总成绩单(Final Transcript)。如果等到参加完毕业典礼和拿到毕业证再申请工签，往往可能已超过这里所指的90天，必将失去申请毕业工签的宝贵机会。

Have a valid study permit when you apply for the work permit.

申请毕业工签时，现有的学签仍必须有效。如果没有有效的学签，即便顺利毕业和拿到毕业证明信，也没有资格申请工签。所以，请一定在毕业之际检查学签的有效期，避免因为遗漏或疏忽导致“遗憾”。

申请毕业工签的途径有哪些？

1. 网申 Apply online

2. 纸申 Apply on paper

3. “边境申请 Flagpole”

为什么要在第三种方式上打引号？ Kevin Zhang并不鼓励大家去边境通过做"Flagpole"来获取毕业工签。首先，这并非是移民局CIC官方的正式申请渠道。官方仅提供了两种工签的申请方式，1. 网上提交申请 2. 纸质邮寄申请。这种Flagpole一方面给加拿大边境CBSA造成更大的工作负荷，其次因为是当面提交申请材料给边境官员，如因材料或回答不适当，由此导致工签有效期不合理，可能连“翻盘和申诉”的机会都没有（也许有，也会搭上更多的时间和精力，得不偿失）
