Hii there!!! I studied a two year diploma starting from jan 2023 upto dec 2024. I had my last two semesters part-time(may 2024 and sept 2024). Basically i failed two courses (9 credits) in jan 2024 intake. Retook them in may 2024 failed one of them again and later on finished them on dec 2024. Had my study permit till dec 2025. So valid study permit, applied for pgwp on 7 jan 2025 with 7.5 ielts score. Hearing the news now-a-days, i am afraid that i would get a refusal. Did anyone of you have had any similar experiences?

Most on here are refused for 1 part time semester and you have 2. Get doctor’s notes/letters from the school explaining why you failed and had 2 part times. The semesters were not back to back though. What did you do during the summer months?
I retook both courses in summer but failed in one of them again...
Which i completed in the fall 2024 term.

So you had 2 part time semesters and they were not your last semester so not eligible for a PGWP. You need to send a very thorough explanation on why you failed along with letter from doctor/employer/school.
I mean in each of the semesters i took on the full available course load, i didnt choose to have a part time at any point. And also summer term was supposed to be the last one but unfortunately i failed one of the courses again them and retook them in fall that was my final term. Would that be considered?
You said your last two semesters were part time. So you can only be part time the last semester.
Hi, to answer you question; No you will not be refused. You were full time in winter, then failed and had to be part time in summer, failed and had to be part time in fall which was your last semester. Summer would be considered a scheduled break for you in that case
Please confirm with your university whether the summer term is considered a scheduled break or a regular academic semester. At many universities and colleges, the summer term is categorized as a "non-regular" semester. It is often used by students to lighten their course load or to improve academic performance ahead of the upcoming regular term.
In your case, being enrolled part-time during your final semester is typically permitted under IRCC guidelines. I sincerely hope your application receives a positive outcome.
That said, it's strongly recommended that you provide a clear explanation stating which semesters are considered regular and which are designated as scheduled breaks by your institution. Immigration or visa officers may not always have access to this specific information, so offering that clarification can be helpful in supporting your case.
Wishing you the best of luck!
Hello Guys! I have 3 years of PGWP and am currently working full-time. I made an application for my spouse's SOWP in January 2025. I just received a refusal on the following ground: * You do not qualify under IMP as you provide insufficient information to demonstrate your spouse's employment in qualifying TEER 0,1 or in certain TEER 2 or 3 occupations of the NOC system. Refusal underR205(C)(ii). Please, does anyone have a similar experience? Please kindly advise me on what I should do.
What evidence of employment did you include in the application? What is your NOC?
