Are you wondering “Now what?” as you come close to completing your program?

This virtual session hosted by UBC International Student Advising exclusively for DAP students will highlight the benefits of the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) as you consider your options to further your studies, work in Canada or apply for permanent residence. You will learn about timelines to apply for the PGWP, eligibility requirements, how to prepare your application, work eligibility, and what you need to know if you have family members in Canada too. The information provided will take the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic into consideration.

This session will be held on Tuesday, April 5th, 4:30 pm PT on Zoom. Registration is now open on COOL (look under workshops).

I know, I know, you have mid-terms and soon finals. But don’t use those things as excuses for letting your job search lay idle. It’s time to get busy!

PPFs are really raising the engagement level with students this Spring and more firms are participating in campus recruiting activities than ever before. They have missed connecting with the student body face to face over the past couple of years, and their hiring numbers have slipped as as result.
