PGWP Application Refusal

[Naturgrl]

Please what do you mean? I do not understand?

I'm in Canada and I'm out of status already. My status ended the day my PGWP application was refused and I was given 3 months to restore status and reapply.

So I have re-applied for PGWP and also waiting for the reconsideration.

What do you suggest I should do?

So you have status if you were given the option to restore status and reapply. So you did that but also asked for reconsideration. Why were your refused - being part-time?

Yes, that's right.

I was refused for being part time during one of the semesters, and that's incorrect. I was full time throughout program.

What can you advise my spouse to do?

My spouse is also in Canada on SOWP. We applied both PGWP and SOWP extension together and we were both refused. My spouse was also given option to restore status and reapply again. But my spouse hasn't re-applied yet because we are scared it will be refused again since I'm no longer working.

Well spouse is not eligible because you don’t have a job. It would be refused again.

So why do they think you were part-time for one semester?

So he has to wait until my PGWP is approved and start working again before he can apply again.

However, he has 21 days left out of the 90 days to restore his status?
What can he do to remain in Canada if the reconsideration or my new PGWP is not approved in the next 21 days?

He can change status to visitor. If you don’t have a job and paystubs on your PGWP, he is not eligible to apply. So you need PGWP approved, get a job and paystubs and then apply for SOWP.

I didn't know either, I think it was the Officer's mistake.
When we called IRCC, we were told the officer noted that I did part time during fall 2022. However, I did 4 courses (12 credits) that particular semester, and was clearly shown in my Transcript.
