Hello Everyone
Team,
.
I started as a full time student in winter 2022. Unfortunately I couldn’t get through a particular subject therefore I will be doing a part time credit transfer course commencing on 1st of November 2023 and concludes on the 7th of February 2024. I will be only left woth this subject after 2nd week of November
So my status will be changing as a part time student. But I have student permit and co-op work permit valid till 31st March 2024

I would like to inquire regarding whether my status being changed as part time student after NovemberAm I eligible to work off campus ?
If yes.. please provide me further details.
If No, when will be my last day to work in 2023?
Please advise
Thank you so much

You can only be part time for the last semester to be eligible for a PGWP. No you cannot work full time as a part time student. Rules changed too as you cannot work full time as a student unless on a scheduled break.

If you’re a part-time student at a DLI
You can work off campus only if:

  • you meet all of the requirements above, except the requirement to be a full-time student,
  • and
  • you’re only studying part-time, instead of full-time, because:
    • you’re in the last semester of your study program and you don’t need a full course load to complete your program and
    • you were a full-time student in your program in Canada, up until your last semester
