Am I allowed to be a part-time student during spring?

[menezes]

Hi
I have been a full time student during the fall, and I will be full time student during winter. However, I have only one course to do during spring 2016;therefore I will be a part-time student during this term and then back to full time status during fall 2016 and winter 2017.

Am I allowed to be a part-time student during spring without have my pgwp decreased in a future application?

Thank you

Menezes, rest assured, you'll be fine. I completed a 4 year degree, during which time I took Spring courses twice. Both times, I only took 2 courses at a time, and while I was technically part time during those semesters, it did not affect my ability to obtain a PGWP. I know lots of others who have done the same and it did not impair their ability to renew student visas or complicate their immigration status. Goodluck!
