A section has been added called “Temporary Public Policy to Facilitate the Issuance of an Open Work Permit to Former or Current Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Holders during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic”. It provides information on a facilitative measure introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
