Thanks @Naturgrl. It wasn't a back to back program but a 1 + 1 with a gap of 3 months. File another application means reapply again and raise another webform as well?
I Obtained 1 year work permit instead of 3 years

- Start date
That is the same thing. 1+1 is a back to back program. When did first program start and second program end? How long was each program? Ask for reconsideration for whatever program wasn’t counted.
You may be able to get a PGWP that combines the length of each program.
Each of the programs you completed must be
- PGWP eligible and
- at least 8 months (or 900 hours for Quebec credentials) in length
September 2022 to June 2023 and September 2023 to June 2024. Should she reapply with a detailed explanation and new documents. Raise a webform again? Please advise.
So two 8 month programs. Reconsideration is if there was an error, and she didn’t provide the correct documentation so got the correct permit. Can try to reapply and see if she gets at least another 6 months as the two programs add up to 16 months. Ask a lawyer too.
Honestly, one IRCC agent informed me that she will put in the notes for the application to be reconsidered. However, I called back again the next day and was told the same as your friend that " It's my fault and hence cannot be reconsidered."
Course of action : Gather all documents (entry, stamps, all Permits, Graduation Letter, transcripts) Add everything to an explanation letter and submit it with the new application. You can file a fresh application or Go with a lawyer. Lawyer option is better imo.
Raising a webform might give you NO response.. filing a fresh application WILL. Consult a lawyer, keep raising webforms on the side but also file a new application..
My program start date was January 2, 2023, and the completion date was September 22, 2024, for the Associate of Arts degree. My concern is that most of my friends who graduated from the same course, college, and under similar circumstances received a 3-year PGWP, while I only received 1.6 months. There were no unofficial drops or any issues with my circumstances. Today, I called the IRCC helpline and explained the situation to an agent regarding the shorter duration of my PGWP. The agent took my details, and after putting me on hold for almost 15 minutes, he informed me that he had raised the issue to the Visa Officer for review and reconsideration. I also mentioned to the agent that my friends, who were in the same situation, received a 3-year PGWP, whereas some received only 1.6 months. When I asked if I should submit a web form, the agent advised that it was unnecessary as he had already raised the issue on my behalf. What should I do next?
