Hi all

My spouse was issued a PGWP on June 2012 and then he went back to school to pursue his masters in September 2013.
His post grad work permit was issued for 3 years. However, since he went back to school, he only used the 1 year.

My question is: Can we claim the 'unused 2 years' of PGWP?

Anyone ever in a similar situation? Please share any information/thoughts.

No - you can't. Use it or lose it.

i agree with Scylla. He can't claim the one unused year. Rmr it is a one time issue.
