Post graduation work permit

[novia0923]

Hi there,

Now the new designated learning institution list is released, I'm wondering if international students can get ( or are eligible to apply) post graduation work permit if they successfully graduated from any school on the list?

I have read http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad-who.asp
But I'm always wondering about what "a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as public institutions" stand for...

Thanks

1. You are correct. With effective June 1st, you will get PGWP only if you graduate from a designated institution.
2. If you are already in a private school, you must finish your program before 2017.

Thanks so much for your reply! May I ask where can I find the reference that states 2017 is the deadline to finish the program if I'm already in a Private school?

Thanks!

2017 is not the deadline, you won't be able to renew your SP beyond June 1, 2017

"If your application for a study permit is received before June 1, 2014, and your letter of acceptance is from an institution that is not designated for international students:

your application will be processed and you may still pursue your program of study at that institution for the duration of your study permit; and
you will be able to renew your study permit in order to complete your program, but not beyond June 1, 2017."

I see! But isn't it only true if I'm studying in a school that's not on the designated learning institution list? Wouldn't I be able to renew my SP if my school is on the list?
Thanks
