    Finding work with PGWP

    Hello, I tried searching everywhere, but it looks like there is very little information on this general topic. 1) How hard is it to find work with a 3-year Post Graduation Work Permit, as opposed to say PR (let alone citizenship)? 2) Does the temporary (albeit rather long-term) status make me...

    Scheduled breaks?

    I don't really know if it is. I applied only to Dalhousie, Memorial and York. Was accepted everywhere without any problems. York gave me 90 transfer credits (~3 years).

    Thanks for the reply. This is somewhat reassuring. Are there any documents on cic.gc.ca on what is considered a "proper" academic term? It's just that I keep getting conflicting statements.

    That's very reassuring. I would not want to intentionally prolong my studies. Anyone else? :)

    Hello, I am an undergraduate transfer student in Canada. I am getting a second undergraduate degree (chose a totally different major). Technically, I am in my year 1 now, and the length of the program is 4 years. The problem is, I received a substantial amount of transfer credit and only need...
