Am i eligible for a PGWP ?

[remark_org]

Hi all, my course is a 2 year diploma and now im on my last semester however on my second and last semester , i failed one mandatory course and 2 communication course. As such, i have to take extra part time semester now for summer and fall 2025 because one of the mandatory course is only available on fall. In this summer semester, im actually thinking to do the other two comm courses.

Now with such two part time semester after last semester, am i eligible for pgwp? I heard only one part time semester is allowed after last semester. Is there any other workaround like taking a break in between this summer and continuing all courses in fall or so ? Please help.

To be eligible for PGWP, you can only be part time for the last semester. So if you have part time semesters you are not eligible. When you submit PGWP application, you can explain why you were not full time and why you didn't take courses to maintain full time status.

i see thankyou, can i also mayve take a approved official break from college if college allows it for this summer, and continue to study part time for fall. Will i then be eligible for the pgwp ?

What is the purpose of taking an official leave? So you would go full time in the fall and then part time next winter? How many semesters so far have been part time?

So you have been full time up until now? If you have and can take all the courses in the fall to graduate then do that. Don't know if courses are offered.

Yes, i have been full time. So does that mean if my college lets me take a break and study all courses together in fall then i will be eligible for the pgwp despite of a break this summer ?

If the courses are all available in the fall, then yes you would be eligible based on not having more than one part time semester. Some courses are not available each semester. When does your study permit expire?

You need to extend study permit and show funds and tuition paid.

thankyou, i was told by my program coordinator to take one or the two comm courses this summer and the take the mandatory course in fall which was inly available in fall. But this would lead me to not be eligible for pgwp. So now if i can ask my college for a break this summer and get all three courses together this fall, leading to only one part time semester. This would be the best approach for eligibility of pgwp right ? I thankyou for your cooperation all this time

What do you mean by break? You mean authorized leave because you are not on a scheduled break and should be in class this semester? If you go on authorized leave then you cannot work.
