A SW-1 study visa?

[rish261193]

Hey, I just revived my study permit, it's Catogary sw1, most of.my friends for a 'S' visa... I did a bit of research and found that I have a study-work visa , my question is, with this am I eligible to apply for an work permit after the completion of my course?

if your course is full time and 8 months or more you may qualify to apply for a post grad work permit the length of which will map to course length if less than 2 years or if 2 years or more then you might get a 3 year permit. Do not confuse a PGWP with perm residence thats a whole different scenario and has nothing to do whether you chose to work part time during your studies

The information is readily available on the immigration website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad-who.asp

Thanks for the info. My course is of one year, for which I read that I am eligible to apply for a 1 year full time work permit after the completion of my study.. What got me confused was the SW catogary..
