FSW Adaptability question. Can someone answer

[afsar9930]

Hello can someone answer this question regarding full time studies

I was considered as full time by my University for two academic years. I was a masters student and my university considered student as full time if he is registered for more than 9 credits hour. I was registered for 3 courses for two academic years and I used to take 3 hrs classes for all three per week that makes total of 9 hrs/wk. though my program could have been finished in 9 months means two semester, I completed it in 4 semester.

My question is would I get 5 points under adaptability for FSW

You can only claim five points if you meet the below eligibility criteria:

You finished at least two academic years of full-time study (in a program at least two years long) at a secondary or post-secondary school in Canada.
Full-time study means at least 15 hours of classes per week, and you must have stayed in good academic standing (as set out by the school) during that time.

It's written on the cic website, but my institute definition for full time student was different than cic definition so I am confused

Which institution did you attend in the Canada?

If you are not meeting the criteria set by CIC then you can claim these points.

I can?

IRCC requires 15 hours/week and you only had 9 hours/week. It doesn't matter what your university's definition of full-time is. You must follow IRCC's definition.
