Overview
This two-part CPD series will explore various tactics that advisors can use to help students maintain their eligibility for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) and support them in demonstrating their eligibility following a refusal. Throughout the workshop, facilitators will reference the Code of Ethics, highlighting practices and approaches that are ethical and within scope. Scenarios will be used to illustrate common challenges, and case studies will be provided to encourage discussion and deepen participants’ learning.
Learning Outcomes
- Increase familiarity with challenging cases to help prevent PGWP ineligibility by creating proactive policies, practices, and collaborations across campus.
- Provide practitioners with the opportunity to evaluate refusals to advise students on courses of action going forward.
- Increase awareness of ethical practices and considerations when advising students on PGWP-related matters.
- Review of the duty of competence, including delineating the scope of support that can be provided when addressing PGWP refusals.
