QUICK ANSWERS
Your questions, answered.
On the IRCC designated learning institutions list, 3 of the 3 DLIs in Northwest Territories offer PGWP-eligible programmes, and 0 more offer them only for some programmes or campuses. The tables on this page list each one.
No. Your programme must also qualify: at least 8 months long, and for college diplomas and certificates, in an eligible field of study. You also need the required language score (CLB 7 for degrees, CLB 5 for college programmes).
Check it is a DLI and that your exact programme is PGWP-eligible before you pay anything. Many private institutions do not offer PGWP-eligible programmes.
