Doubt about Diploma... Please help me...
- Thread starter pscet
- Start date
Dont panic, Canada is a diploma based country, infact majority go there for doing diploma and its valid there so u can even get job based on it. If u want to continue ur education u can transfer ur diploma credits and complete ur bachelors.
Read this page and pay attention to how long a work permit you can apply for after your graduation. If you think it's three years, you are setting yourself up for a disappointment.
And pay attention to which schools are elligable for this as well. Not all students qualify as they have chosen to study at the wrong school.

Thnx a lot for your response and the link... I read it completely an am happy to know I fall under the category to apply for work permit if I pass out with good results (By God's grace)
If you graduate (not pass out) with good grades, that is great. ;-)
Hi itstime,itstime said:
Can you please clear your points... you mean after completion of a 2 yr diploma, im not eligible for work permit... please explain... According to CIC, if we fall under list of designated colleges and if we have completed 2 yr course then we are eligible... please correct me if i am wrong...
Read the page again.
Also, your program is two years. IF you get a PGWP you only get it for maximum two years. Not three.
There is a lot of "may be" and "could be" which means that none of us have a right to receive the PGWP but those of us who are elligable can apply. No guarantee we will get it though.
