Summer part time courses

[MuffinsInMyPocket]

Hi everyone,

I hold a BA degree from a Canadian university. I am now pursuing my JD degree from a Canadian law school.

During my BA degree, all of my Winter Session terms (September to April) were full-time, with the exception of two consecutive summer terms when I took one 3 credit course per term. I believe this is considered part-time, though I am not sure. The institution I got my BA from designated May to August as designated breaks.

During my JD degree (so far), I took one summer class worth 4 credits during a single Summer Session term. All of my Winter Session terms so far have been full-time, and I plan to take a full-time course load during the only remaining Winter Session as well. My institution designates May to August as designated degrees.

I was planning to apply for a PGWP after graduating. I already have a job lined up after graduation, and I was operating under the assumption that I could work with a PGWP, but I only recently learned about the full-time study eligibility requirement for PGWP. Given my three 3- or 4-credit Summer Session term courses during designated breaks, am I disqualified from applying for PGWP?

Many thanks.

FYI, Sept-Dec is Fall semester and Jan-Apr is Winter semester.

You are not required to take ANY courses during scheduled breaks, so choosing to take part-time courses during a break certainly doesn't have any effect on a PGWP.

There was no online training at the university you attended? I think that would be very convenient. There would be no need to think about the various little things associated with attending classes. Students who pay for their own tuition usually find it difficult to combine work and study, since universities usually require mandatory attendance. I know that many people are looking for a suitable university with online training, so I can say that Online Law School is the most suitable. Here I studied for a bachelor's degree. It's super cool that you can now get an education online.
