Effective November 1, 2024, significant changes were made to the Government of Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Program. Some Saskatchewan Polytechnic programs are no longer eligible for a PGWP.
Students who applied for a PGWP before November 1, 2024 are not affected by the changes.
About the Program
Resource and Environmental Law is a two-year diploma program that specializes in conservation and environmental law enforcement. You’ll develop solid skills in environmental protection, enforcement and investigation. You’ll learn about:
- Indigenous resource rights
- Canadian criminal justice system
- control tactics
- courtroom procedures
- environmental and field investigations
- environmental legislation and compliance
- environmental sampling
- investigative techniques
- park services and enforcement
- wildlife and fisheries management
Hands-on learning is key. You’ll augment classroom learning with lab exercises, simulated field investigations, outdoor camps and work experience. You’ll work with trainers from different government agencies, participate in ride-alongs and more.
If you want to play an active role in ensuring these laws are respected, Resource and Environmental Law will appeal to you. It’s a career that demands a strong belief in what you’re doing, a good understanding of human behaviour and excellent communication skills.
