You'll be fine if you're inside Canada.
No impact of online courses on PGWP if you're in Canada with valid study permit
It should be counted to anyone with a study permit. It's not like you'll learn more when your watching lectures from Canada than if you were in Spain. If they don't change it then damn....
That's only for PGWP not CRS points. There's no definitive statement that declares that distance learning will still allow studying in Canada points. Because, technically all online studying is distance learning
Hi ,
I went through the PR application form and no where they have mentioned regarding the stay in Canada (8 months) during your studies, they are just looking whether its part time (NO POINTS FOR PART TIME) or full time and obviously if you are doing full time its presumed that you are in Canada (but because of this pandemic this is happening) so i feel we will get Canadian education points while filing PR.
Yeah it was part time or full time and since my program was full time i also chose full time. But I’m confirming from my school what should i select. Because if they later reject the application it will be big trouble. anyway they’re taking more than a year to decide.
So you need to ensure at least 50% of your education is completed in Canada in order to be able to claim points in your PR application/Express entry. If your program is of one year in duration then you and you competed your course online, you cannot count it towards express entry.
I think they will ask you specifically if any of your courses are online. And they may even ask you for proof (i.e. photos)
