Navigating the PGWP 180-Day Deadline: How K7 Immigration Keeps You on Track

<article>
  <section>
    <p>So, you finally made it. Cap thrown, photos taken, parents smiling. Feels amazing, right? But—here’s the catch—your <strong>PGWP 180-day deadline is already ticking</strong>. It’s one of those “party now, paperwork later” situations—but don’t procrastinate.</p>
    <p>The <strong>Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)</strong> isn’t just a document. It’s your bridge to real-world experience and—if you play it right—permanent residency. Miss that 180-day window and a door may close without you noticing.</p>
    <p>One student told us, <em>“I thought I had months to apply… until I got that panicked email from K7.”</em> That’s why having someone watch your back matters.</p>

    <h2 id="rule">The 180-Day Rule: When Does the Clock Start?</h2>
    <p>The countdown does <strong>not</strong> start on graduation day. It starts the day you receive your <strong>final transcript or completion letter</strong>.</p>
    <p>Your <strong>study permit may expire ~90 days after program completion</strong>, so delaying could put you at risk of working without authorization. Treat your transcript like a golden ticket—track it and act fast.</p>
