What's Available If you submitted your study permit application using a Letter of Acceptance from Northwestern Polytechnic on or after November 1, 2024, you must graduate from a program in an eligible field of study with an approved Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) code to be able to apply for a PGWP. Northwestern Polytechnic's certificate, diploma, and degree program CIPs are listed in the table below. To confirm if the program is PGWP eligible, find the CIP code and enter it into the IRCC search tool. If the CIP code appears on the PGWP-eligible field of study list, the program is PGWP-eligible. This list may be updated with additional programs, so please check back often. We recommend that students take a screenshot of the program CIP code if it appears on the IRCC PGWP list. Ensure the screenshot shows a date and time stamp taken immediately before submitting your study permit application, and retain that image for your PGWP application.
