THE SHORT ANSWER
No. Graduation from a designated learning institution does not automatically make you eligible for a post-graduation work permit.
How do I check my school and program?
Use the official DLI list and the PGWP eligibility page. A school offering eligible programs does not mean every program at that school qualifies.
Which details affect eligibility?
Your program, study history and application timing matter. Language and field-of-study requirements may also apply. Check the rules that apply to your credential and relevant application dates rather than relying on another graduate’s result.
What should I prepare before applying?
Organize your completion documents, transcript, passport and study-permit history. Confirm any required language test or field-of-study evidence against IRCC’s current instructions.
