help regarding pgwp

[yesplease]

my cousin wants to persue masters of engineering from canada
he just finished his bachelors of engineering from canada
he is interested to persue master right after bachelors
should he go pgwp or extend study permit
can he study master degree during pgwp?
as he can obtain pgwp on basis of bachelor degree
IS HE ALLOWED TO STUDY PGWP?
or he need to extend study permit?

The question is, is he planning to do his masters as part time or full time?
remember that he can only apply for pgwp once in his lifetime. if he decides to work, gets a pgwp. then few month later change his mind and wants to get a masters as a full time student. he applies for study permit and loses his pgwp. once he finishes his masters he would have to leave.
Therefore as a general rule, never apply for pgwp if you're planning to pursue further studies as full time. you should make maximum use of your pgwp years that by the end of it you have already got your PR or being processed.

Doesn't matter whether he is planning on studying full time or part time. An MBA is a program with a duration of more than six months - so a study permit is required. No - you cannot take an MBA on a PGWP.

A study permit is required, but the question is if it's for a FT or a PT program. A FT program study permit will lose him his pgwp. I know few people doing a PT phd while on pgwp, you still need a study permit as well

it would be better that my cousin completes bachelor and master degree then apply for pgwp. means he hv to get extension of SP.

actually he took summer and winter of 2015 during his bachelor degree. his bachelor degree will end in august 2015. in 2015, he was enrolled fulltime in summer and winter in 2015.

can he take break of one semester. can he start masters from jan 2016 taking 4 months breaks after completion of bachelors degree? he is taking four months gap as he have to secure admission for masters program. september intakes are gone. he will apply for january intake.
Actually his study permit is valid till april 2016.
