Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has released its updated list of eligible fields of study for post-graduation work permits (PGWPs). The list has been updated to reflect the Government of Canada’s 2025 Express Entry priorities: 119 new fields of study have been added, while 178 have been removed. The added fields are largely those in key sectors like education, health care, social services, and the skilled trades. “Students who applied for a study permit before June 25, 2025, will still be eligible for a PGWP if their field of study was on the list when they applied for their study permit even if it has since been removed,” said IRCC.
