Can A Deferral Affect Your Chances of PGWP?

[StealthyCelery]

If you're an international student and you apply for a deferral for any exam, can it affect your chances of applying for a PGWP?

The reason I ask is because dropping a course (which will temporarily make you lose your full time student status) will spoil your chances of applying for PGWP. So does a deferral have an effect like that? Will it be seen as a problem?

Yes, dropping to part time will make you ineligible for pgwp

So applying for a deferral temporarily opts you out of the course? Wasn't it just supposed to act like an extension for deadlines based on emergencies?

Yes correct

it gives you the opportunity to retake the course without getting bad grades this semester.

Deferral is usually for an exam not the course. If you get sick and have a medical note and we’re unable to attend the exam you are usually told to complete another exam at a later date. Withdraw would be stopping the course without penalty by a certain date. You would need to make sure you remained full-time.

Hello I had an exam deferred from my last semester and so I wasn't register but had to wait 4months to complete my exam for graduation. So I wasn't registered that time will it cause a pgwp refusal?
