I would be completing 1 year (3 semester) program from one of DLI institute in August 2017. Further if I take another 1 year (3 semester) program in january 2018 in DLI institute, am I eligible to get 3 years of work permit? Or 4 months gap in between two program would affact me?
3 years permit
- Thread starter Sukanya Amin
- Start date
Yes the 4 month break will be an issue.
You aren’t eligible to apply for a PGWP if you:
You aren’t eligible to apply for a PGWP if you:
- studied in a program that was less than eight months long
- studied for more than eight months but not continuously (for example, you took a semester off)
- took part in a Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship Program funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC)
- took part in a Government of Canada Awards Program funded by GAC
- had funding from GAC
- took part in the Equal Opportunity Scholarship, Canada-Chile
- took part in the Canada-China Scholars Exchanges Program
- took part in the Organization of American States Fellowships Program
- completed a study program by distance learning either from abroad or from within Canada or
- already had a post-graduation work permit following any other program of study.
i don't think this 4 months gap will affect your Post graduation work permit .because you can explain your situation in Letter of explanation that you undergo different program in different school after attending first program .
Good luck
