How to know if my program is eligible for Post graduation work permit?

[yuvrajbhatia1396]

As you have mentioned that you have already done Bachelor's, so you have to go for a 'PD Diploma' or 'Masters' only. If you will go for just 'Diploma', Visa chances will get reduce. Also, I would like to advise you that you can now opt for 1 year 'PG Diploma' if 2 years 'PG Diploma' is unavailable and once you have joined the college, then you can apply for another yet relevant 'PG Diploma' program for 1 year, to make your study for 2 years. However, please note that there should not be any gap between 2 years of your 'PG Diploma' studies, so as to get 3 years PGWP.

Damn! I was really interested in this diploma program. I cannot find any other PG of 2 years in the the interested field. Will doing just a diploma be a bad option? In terms of employment, is PG better than just a diploma? I certainly cannot do a PG from Canada because it is only 1 year long so diploma is my best bet.

It is not a question of bad option but we have to see whether you will be able to get Visa for it or not, which as per my experience gonna be tough to pull. If you wish, I can help you in looking for a relevant PG Diploma / Masters course, where Visa chances are good.

Hi Yuvraj,

If you won't show your graduation, then there will be at least 3 year gap, which will be a non-starter in itself. So, we have to show graduation.

I would be happy to help. You can reach out to me as per details mentioned below in signature line for better communication.

Thanks,

but i don't need a bachelor's degree to study a diploma program?

 

[yuvrajbhatia1396]

That is entirely up to you, depending on which country you are from, where you will apply, how you will apply etc. Usually you might need between 45 days and 6 month to get everything ready.

Good luck!

Hey! I already have a bachelor's degree. Can my visa get rejected if I apply for a diploma program instead of a post graduate program? I cannot apply for the post graduate program because it is only of 1 year and I am looking for a 2 year program and this diploma program is perfect.

Wait I heard that there were recent changes made that now you cant get 3 year PGWP if you do 2 different 1 year courses.

Not exactly new although changes were made on 2/14 the 2x1 year course option for upto a 3 year PGWP has been in place for a while.

Hey! I need some answers urgently. Can you please answer this question? I have a bachelor's degree in arts (FRench literature) but I want to do study a management program in Canada. I selected one diploma program at George Brown. Does it matter if I have a bachelor's degree in arts to study a diploma program in Canada? Someone told me that even if you got accept to GBC, your visa will not be approved as your field of study is completely different from what you have chosen. But when I open George brown's site, I see that there is no requirement of Bachelor's degree to study this diploma program. I had low grades in 10th and 12th tho. What do you think my chances of getting a study visa for Canada are?

Thank you in advance.
