Hey guys

its soon to be my co-op term after which am graduating. I have got two very great opportunities, both of them being full time opportunities. My co-op is only for 280 hours (1.5 month) so just wanted to know if I grab that opportunity and continue doing full time after 280 hour, will it affect me getting pgwp?

It is my last sem so I really want to have for a full time instead of part time....please advise if somebody has done co-op in their last sem and got pgwp?

If the co-op is part of your requirement to graduate and you have co-op work permit then you can work FT for the 1.5 months. Should not be an issue with PGWP.

Shouldn’t they still be limited to 24 hrs/wk while doing their co-op as a student until they apply for PGWP. Unclear with time period after co-op is finished is a scheduled break where you could work FT.
