[PGWP] 1 year course in private college

[Micbm]

Hi

My friend is currently attending Greystone College in Toronto, his course is going to finish on May 2016 but it turns out it is a private college and it is not a degree course.

Do you know if there is any way that he could get a PGWP? Is there any case of PGWP with private college?

Many thanks

yes there are clear chances of PGWP as long as college is designated and has DLI # , course is atleast Certificate,diploma,degree any of those..
Because i have my friends who just took a private college and before that they have visited college and asked for some details such any previous WP issued and yes college has shown them one copy WP issued to one of their college students and they also called CIC and reply was that as long as college is designated with DLI # and course is atleast 8 months in length...Hope that helps ...

1. Not Necessarily, the school has to meet the following conditions:

To obtain a work permit after your graduation, you must meet the following requirements:

You must have studied full time in Canada and you must have completed a program of study that lasted at least eight months.
In addition, you must have graduated from:
a public post-secondary institution, such as a college, trade/technical school, university or CEGEP (in Quebec), or
a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as public institutions, or
a private secondary or post-secondary institution (in Quebec) offering qualifying programs of 900 hours or longer leading to a diplôme d’études professionnelles (DEP) or an attestation de spécialisation professionnelle (ASP), or
a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees but only if you are enrolled in one of the programs of study leading to a degree as authorized by the province and not in all programs of study offered by the private institution.
You must apply for a work permit within 90 days of receiving written confirmation (for example, a transcript or an official letter) from your institution indicating that you have met the requirements for completing your academic program.
You must have completed and passed the program of study and received a notification that you are eligible to obtain your degree, diploma or certificate.
You must have a valid study permit when you apply for the work permit.

@Micbm : did your friend get his WP?

Hi!
Did your friend got the WP? Is Greystone College, still isn't available for PGWP?

The answer is irrelevant. CIC has become much stricter over the last couple of years regarding private colleges. If you attend Greystone, you can safely assume you will not get a PGWP.
