Effective November 1, 2024, new language proficiency benchmarks will be introduced for students applying for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). These changes are part of IRCC’s efforts to align international student immigration with labor market needs, making language proficiency a critical factor in determining eligibility.
At Radsam Education Agency, we understand how essential language skills are for success in Canada. We provide expert guidance to help you meet these requirements and strengthen your PGWP application.
What Are the New Language Requirements?
To be eligible for a PGWP, applicants will need to demonstrate a minimum Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) score in either English or French. The requirements are:
CLB 7 for university graduates: Reflecting a high proficiency level required for high-skill jobs.
CLB 5 for college graduates: Suitable for positions in trades, customer service, and mid-level administrative roles.
These requirements reflect Canada’s commitment to ensuring that international graduates can effectively integrate into the workplace and contribute to the economy.
Why Language Proficiency Matters for PGWP
Language proficiency is crucial for:
Workplace Integration: Strong communication skills improve employability, particularly in sectors like healthcare, education, and business.
PGWP Eligibility: Failure to meet the minimum CLB requirements may lead to your PGWP application being rejected.
Pathway to Permanent Residency: Express Entry and other immigration programs prioritize candidates with higher language scores.
