Good news for International Students: You will be eligible for PGWP if you began, or will begin, a program in any semester from spring 2020 to fall 2021, or whose program was already in progress in March 2020. All your time studying online outside Canada between spring 2020 and December 31, 2021, counts toward the length of a PGWP. Time spent studying outside Canada after December 31, 2021, won’t count towards the length of a PGWP. https://www.canada.ca//government-of-canada-announces-furt
