All UG and PG degree programs offered by VIU are PGWP-eligible as long as at least 50% of these have been completed in person in Canada. However, completing a PGWP eligible programme does not guarantee students will receive the same.
The decision lies with the IRCC. To know more, check our FREE PGWP in Canada Guide for Indian Students
