I also applied for Fleming College Toronto, a private-public partnership institute for May 2024 intake. Think this will affect to my PGWP and I’m confused
No it will not change PGWP if you start in May. As of September, you will not be eligible because these “colleges” are just international college mills to get money from international students, and little chance of skilled work employment. No domestic students attend them. It is a money grab and they should have been shut down years ago.

If you are going to St Lawrence in Kingston you are attending a public DLI. It is the public DLIs that have partnered with private schools. For example, St. Lawrence is partnered with Alpha College in Toronto. It is mostly the Toronto area schools.
Alright, so will studying in st. Lawrence affect my pgwp? Or will it affect me if I study in Alpha college doing a program offered by St. Lawrence college?

Greetings, just heard the recent PGWP news, so here to ask something.

I'll graduate secondary education this year. I am planning to apply for January 2025 intake in BC as first year college. So after I complete my 2 years course from a public college/University, will I be eligible for PGWP? Your answer would be a great help.

Thank you!

My boyfriend (SP) and I (SOWP) were both granted our respective visas last year but we had to defer to this year's Fall 2024 intake as we received our passports with visa too late and the tickets were already too high that it would have thrown off our budget. We have already bought our tickets for August 2024. Hopefully, someone can answer my questions as we have really become anxious with the new update:

1. Our visas will expire in 2025 (program is for 2 years) — is it best if we process our visa extension before the new mandate takes effect on September 2024?
2. My boyfriend will be attending Conestoga College, will he still be eligible for the 3-year PGWP?

Will they close the college since no students apply due to new rule?

Yes they will, most of these colleges are will go bankrupt.

Im not sure why you’re coming here to study in such colleges. It’s embarrassing, no companies will want to hire you.

Similar situation, my sister in law is studying at cornwall campus at st lawrence college. She's stressed beyond max about this pgwp change. She started her studies this past September of last year and will be graduating April of 2025 and its early childhood education and started her placement. If I am understanding. When she graduates she will no longer be eligible to apply for pgwp ?

I also having the same doubt. My program got deferred to Jan 2025 intake but my SP & SOWP have been already issued in 2023 December. What is the impact for those who already got the admissions. ?
