hi

thanks for the reply.

what is the gap allowed between two courses? my course ends in April 2019 and other course starts on sept 2019.

is that okay?

Just keep in mind that in taking 2x 1 year courses you cannot work in between courses unlike a 2 year course where it would be a scheduled break.

Okay but doing two grad cert courses of 1 year (8 sem) each will give me a 3 yr pgwp right?

Really worried about it

 

[parthgusani]

I wouldnt keep more than 3 months gap just to be safe for not having study permit cancelled

How should i avoid this? Apply for the course and new visa before the old one expires?

• If a student obtained a 1-year degree, diploma or certificate from an eligible institution in Canada after having obtained, within the prior 2 years, another degree, diploma or certificate from an eligible institution in Canada, the duration of the work permit may be up to 3 years. Source :-

Yes. Apply for acceptance to the school and then student visa extension while still completing your other course but you may not hear back until after you have finished your course which is fine. The time frame you are looking at is also fine but as people have stated you can't work in between the 2 courses and can only work when you begin full-time courses again. That is if you want to work in the first place.

months sorry.

 

[andi123]

months sorry.

no worries...

Were you able to get your response on your question?
I`m assuming you are in Canada now...
Please I need help in confirming if I do same situation as you,..

I`m looking at colleges who offer post graduate in Ontario.
I`m just really curious that if we should do 1yr(with 3 semesters) or it is also fine to do 1yr(with 2 semesters) on the first year...
Then after that once I am there, I am planning on applying for another year with 2/3sems...

Does it matter if we do 2/3semesters in a year to get the 3 year pgwp?

Pleaseeee please let me know the information you got..
I can`t seem to find a definite answer on it.

I don't know why you keep saying this in so many threads.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/study-permits/campus-work.html

Students who have completed a program of study and will be starting a new program of study within 150 days of receiving a written confirmation of program completion from their current institution
Students may work off campus on a full-time basis until the start of their new program if the following applies:

• they meet the eligibility criteria to work off campus [R186(v)]
• they have received written confirmation of program completion from their current institution (for instance, a transcript or an official letter)
• they have submitted an application to change conditions, extend their stay or remain in Canada as a student before their current study permit expired, or they still have a valid study permit
• they have been issued a letter of acceptance to a subsequent program of full-time study at a DLI and will be starting the new program within 150 calendar days of receiving a notification of program completion from their current institution

This came only 2 weeks back and what @Bs65 has been saying was true before that
