You could try to escalate your case to their senior management. Not all colleges will have management that will listen to show any kind of understanding, but could present your case since you paid your tuition fee based on the situation that you would be able to apply for the program. The fact...

I don't know about who to contact there, but there's no way even with a PAL in your hands today would you be able to start your study visa application and make in time to Canada in less than 3 weeks. So deferring is really your only options now.

The other challege, not sure to what extent Conestoga will be impacted by it, is the guaranteed housing condition they will need to meet to bring more international students. It will be messy because colleges won't want to lose all those deposits from withdraw and will be desperate to find...

True, and from what I'm reading it looks like they're also not issuing PALs for all programs there likely because of this. So that'll be interesting to see which ones they will prioritize since they're also an outlier and under more scrutiny.

It varies by college, some may ask you for a specific deposit, others may ask you for the full first semester fees. You will need to check with your college what are their conditions.

You should probably try to use the reason of not being able to come for May intake anymore, as a reason that they should consider letting you withdraw your application and give you a full refund (or just subtract a small admin fee or whatever). This may be easier once your application is...

What stage is your visa processing in now? Because if you haven't applied for the visa yet, then you can forget about May intake being possible.

I'd highly advise against taking any chances with it and changing to their non-PPP campus, but you can also check to see if the college will be willing to explictly confirm your PGWP in writing. I'd highly doubt they will. Now back in January, some PPPs did try to change their start dates to...

The transferring option, if they even will have one, will likely be only only considered for those who had received an offer and paid - they would try to make sure they don't lose money as much as they can. Even in those cases it is very uncertain because no one knows if the PPPs will even be...

Yeah, looks like your friend was trying to be clever and thought he would apply for the SP and depending on the outcome decide if he will pay the conditional fee. I know two other people who received a similar letter but theirs may be for some other reason, but it does appear that IRCC is...

The original decision from the government was going to say "fall 2024" but they changed it to "1 September 2024", so it is quite possible that you will not be eligible for it. Confirm this with your college directly, the main campus not Queen's College and if they're willing to put it in...

The announcement on the 5th of February that you're referring to is more of "additional" information and not contradicting to the previous information that was made on the 22nd of Jan. Look up your college on the DLI list. On the 14th of Feb they made an update to it and you would likely see...

It is looking more likely now that those impacted will be the ones starting September and not ones who begin earlier, such as the May intake cases, especially with the more clarity about the change only starting from 1st Sept.

Definitely the part you've highlighted, but the one that caused even more confusion was this one which basically appeared to suggest any new students, which could include May: Who is not eligible for a PGWP after graduating from a public-private partnership college program? New students...

That's understandable. So like in your other post, @canuck78 suggested you can withdraw your application, which seems like the best course of action now. Once the attestation system is in place, you can then decide based on it how you want to proceed and not have to stress about it right now.

I agree that the language used in the latest notice can be left to interpretation sometimes. Since this new notice was supposed to be additional information to the original announcement, which they have not modified, it is safe to assume that it remains the same. Full disclosure, I work at a...

This was the extension of the previous announcement on the 22nd of January, where for programs "Starting September 1, 2024, international students who begin a study program that is part of a curriculum licensing arrangement will no longer be eligible for a postgraduation work permit upon...

Since his daughter is starting in the May intake, even at a PPP, she will be eligible for a PGWP once she graduates.

Haha thanks catching that. I meant will be eligible for PGWP studying at PPPs.

Students beginning in May 2024 intakes at PPPs should be fine and will be eligible for PPPs. Just make sure if she wants to take a second program later, it is at non-PPP.
