Certificate of Achievement for PGWP

[Gokulstv]

Yes we are able to apply for PGWP. But now with the new update on PGWP and online delivery, if you cant do 50% of your course in Canada you will not be able to get a PGWP.

Could you please

Can you tel me more ? No hurdle in getting pgwp for the course right? Certificate of achievement

Yes, please confirm if there are no hurdles in PGWP and it is just as good as an Graduate Certificate. because I am have an offer letter for Web design and development as well which is a "certificate of achievement" and not a "Graduate certificate. "

Apparently it depends on the course if you get a PGWP. A certificate of achievement is not less valuable then others when it comes to PGWP. But you need to confirm with your college if that specific course is for example long enough like the min 8 months that are specified on the IRCC website.
This can easily be checked on the college website. For me it was Humber and they have a international viewbook were you can check.

Thanks for the reply, Mine is Humber aswell and did go through the link you gave and it says the course is 2 semesters - 8 months, but it has a disclaimer saying that "students pursuing this course may not be eligible for post graduate work permit". I tried calling the international center at Humber , and the international advisor commented that consideration of certificate of achievement for PGWP depends on the immigration officer. The other thing strange about my course is that fee is only around 9500 dollars for the whole year which is only half compared to a graduate certificate program.

The answer I got from the international students agent at humber was that when they were putting together the pdf they were still consulting with IRCC about the issue. But he said that my course 3D visualisation ended up to be eligible for a PGWP. Honestly what I have is that email as reassurance and of course it depends also on individual cases and IRCC officers.

To be eligible for a PGWP, you must complete a degree, diploma, or certificate program at a public college or university, or a private one authorized by provincial law to issue that degree, diploma, or certificate.

I contacted the school (in November 2024), they said they will know soon if the program (3D Mod & VFX) will be eligible for a PGWP and they will let us all know.
