Question about PGWP duration

[maro11]

Hello

I was a undergrad student in Canada but I left for over 4 months due to financial reasons. I am currently doing my courses online and will be finishing my degree in December 2020.

I will be applying for my Masters in Oct. 2020 and it is a one year course.

Will I only get a PGWP for the duration of my Masters or will they also add my undergrad studies in Canada to it?

So you will finish without skipping any semesters and without being part time? You might get lucky because of Covid you are allowed to study online from home country so your undergrad will probably be considered. There is a rule about combined timeline should be 2 years if you want credit for both programs so not sure how they deal with that if you did an undergrad degree.

I left in May 2018 and started online courses in May 2020. So thats a 2 year gap. I doubt they will give me a pgwp on my bachelors degree alone so thats why I will be doing a masters course of 1 year. Do you think they will combine the 2 degrees or just give me it based on my masters of 1 year since I had a gap of 2 years in my studies?

They will most likely give you a PGWP for the duration of your Master's only.
