Hi Guys, Just an info for everybody.

Yesterday I spoke to one of the guys who did his Masters from University of Alberta. He told me that the issuance of Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) is based on the length of program defined in the curriculum and not on how long you take to pass it.
For example the MEng program in University of Alberta is 2 years or 4 semesters, so graduating students are eligible for a 3 years work permit. Even if you take on more courses and finish the course in 3 semesters you will still be eligible for a 3 years PGWP.

For off-campus work permit, you must have atleast 6 months study course. So Lets suppose if you start in Winter/Fall you may actually have to wait until middle of your second semester to apply for work permit. Then it will take about a month and a half to actually get the paper work done. Thus it can be 8 months or more before you get your off-campus workpermit. So please plan keeping in mind this issue.

I was surprised to learn about the first issue I mentioned (PGWP). But my friend reassured me that this is the case. If you have any contacts in Canada, may be you guys can also ask them this as well and confirm. But I am pretty sure now that this is the case.

Cheers,
Joji

1. Yes, he is right. PGWP is dependent on the "official length of degree" not on the time in which you study. If a degree is equal to or longer than 2 years then PGWP will be issued for 3 years. If length of the course is more than 8 months and less than 2 years then PGWP will be awarded for the time equal to the length of the degree. No PGWP is issued for courses shorter than 8 months.

2. OCWP is issued after studying for 6 months as full time student, it is not issued for staying for 6 months in canada. The processing time is usually as long as a month on average.

3. Don't be surprise. If you dig up the forum a little deeper you will see these questions are answered repeatedly again and again.

BR,
Inam

Very well said Inam !!

I have immense respect for you. You have been very helpful and guiding a lot a prospective Canadian students on this forum.
When I saw your profile, I wasn't surprised in the least bit to find you a straight As student. I wish you all the best and pray that all your visa formalities are completed asap.

On a separate note, Isn't there some option like a 'sticky' in this forum? This is present is several forums elsewhere on the internet. Any post which is helpful / informative for the general public can be set as sticky and its always present at the top of the forum. This way everybody atleast skims through it before posting his / her questions. This would greatly reduce issue of same questions being asked again.

Also I have noticed that people here 'hijack' each other's thread and ask start asking questions in someone else's thread. This is not good etiquette, but I guess this would be difficult to implement. Are there no moderators on this forum for such issues?

Thanks for the compliments

It is not available in International Students section. It would have been helpful had that option was present.
