PGWP for 2nd time!

[frz077]

Hi,

I am currently on a PGWP. I do not like the type of job I have now. So, want to get back to school for a masters in Statistics. My question is, will I get a PGWP again when I graduate?

Currently, I am eligible for express entry, even though I haven't submitted an application. Can I still apply for express entry while I am at school? Thanks for your response.

No - you won't qualify for a second PGWP. You can only get a PGWP once in your lifetime.

Yes - you can apply for EE while in school.

Could you please provide a link corresponding to your first answer? If not PGWP, then what are the options? Any other type of WP?

Not that difficult to find the guidelines

Applicants can receive only 1 post-graduation work permit in their lifetime.

As for other WP you would need to find an employer to sponsor an LMIA
