Hi Folks,
Due to the current covid restrictions in India, reaching Canada on time is a challenge. So I have registered only for the online subjects(courses) in Fall'21 term.

Does pursuing fall term outside of Canada have any impact on my PGWP duration?

No it will not. IRCC says online remote classes till December 2021 is acceptable. It will not impact your pgwp negatively.

Thank you for the info. In IRCC's website it says, students studying between Spring 2020 and Fall2021. So I'm not sure whether it's applicable for those who start in Fall 2021.

THESE 2 STATEMENTS ARE CONTRADICTING. THAT'S WHY I DOUBT THIS.

"
Given the unprecedented impact of COVID-19 on international students and the post-secondary sector, temporary policy changes have been made to post-graduation work permit (PGWP) eligibility requirements for the following groups of students:

students enrolled in PGWP-eligible programs in progress in March 2020

students who began or will begin PGWP-eligible programs between spring 2020 and fall 2021"

AND

"All students who were enrolled in a PGWP-eligible program in progress in March 2020 or who started a program of study from spring 2020 up to and including the fall 2021 semester are not required to complete 50% of their program (or programs) of study in Canada. Up to 100% of their program can be completed online from outside Canada."

In one way yes.
But I'm currently employed and I have to serve a notice period. I'm not sure whether I can quit or not.

it clearly says those who started their program in fall 2021. So you should be fine.
