Part time study in summer and PGWP

[Justanewforeigner]

Hi
I am a master of engineering student. The university that i study has two summer sessions: summer 1 and summer 2. But due to course unavailability related to my major i could only study during summer one. As a result during summer 2, i was not a studying. So i took the opportunity to work full time for two months during summer 2. Then fall term started and i returned to full time study and part time work. I was wondering if this will have any negative effect on my chances of getting PGWP?
Thanks

It depends if those summer sessions were scheduled breaks in the program or not. If the first summer session was a scheduled break - then you're fine. If not, then you may have a problem.

Generally, summer sessions are considered scheduled break provided you are not registered. But then again, i was only registered for summer one not for summer two.

I got my pgwp by flagpoling. I guess one part time summer term does not make any difference. Any student who is anxious about getting pgwp can refer to this thread. I hope it gives you some peace of mind

I'm in an even worse situation.
I'm still A student. I took one semester off (this January to april).. my study permit was extended from September 2019 to April 2021..i am switching to another school to do another course from September 2020 to april 2022..i am just worried they won't extend my study permit from 2021 April to 2022 April cause of this semester off that i took.. I'm also worried about my future application for work permit
