Hi guys,

So I just finished a 1 yr program and intend taking another 1 year program to get a longer post graduate work permit, I was advised against it by a Red River College international student advisor because according to her lots of students have been getting only 1 year PGWP after 2 separate programs recently .. I then decided to check the CIC website to be sure and couldn't find where it says we can combine 2 programs... I know I saw it sometime ago, but can anyone help me with the link or did CIC change the rule? Thanks guys..

There is no change the rule. I just checked it. I want to see her students who got only 1 year pgwp. I want to know what is going on.

I will check the pgwp application... Let me see what other people saying

That's the same page I checked and it doesn't say we can combine 2 programs... I think something is different

hey
my friends got 3years wp he had takin international business for 2 years course in lambton college and got
2 years study permit but after reaching Canada he change the course to HRM which is 1 year after completing course he applied for pgwp so he got 3 years pgwp on basis of study permit which is of 2 years he told me. so how cum this think happen and on what basis.



You see that.. PGWP is also case by case...

Some people got 3 years pgwp although she or he studied only one year course (certificate) after changing program

Another case, some people come here for Canada with diploma course, but they only got 2 years pgwp.

So, my point is 3 years pgwp is not guarante........... for diploma and one year + one year case....

It's up to CIC officers....
