Finding work with PGWP

[Sergey18]

Hello,

I tried searching everywhere, but it looks like there is very little information on this general topic.

1) How hard is it to find work with a 3-year Post Graduation Work Permit, as opposed to say PR (let alone citizenship)?

2) Does the temporary (albeit rather long-term) status make me a much less desirable candidate?

3) Do I need to mention it in my resume, that I am a foreigner with a PGWP? Do employers care?


Feel free to share your experience.

Thanks

Its the same for all from a "legal" point of view.

What I mean is that your status will make no difference. What will make a difference is not PGWP related e.g. your education (maybe you are overqualified)

2) Does the temporary (albeit rather long-term) status make me a much less desirable candidate?

No.

3) Do I need to mention it in my resume, that I am a foreigner with a PGWP?

No.

4) Do employers care?

Yes. They will ask when does it expire and make questions accordingly (e.g. what are your plans for after expiration, as they might think of you long term).
