UBC International Student Advising will be hosting a workshop on the Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) exclusively for DAP students on March 25th, 4:30 pm.

This session will highlight the benefits of the 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.

Registration for this session is now open on COOL.
