PGWP application

[USER 2019]

Hello,

I'm about to graduate a 4-year program and I want to apply for PGWP but I studied as a part-time student for 1 semester during my first year of university after dropping a course. Does this mean if I apply I will be denied a PGWP?

It will be up to the visa officer. Technically you are only allowed to be part time in your last semester. However if you only have one part time semester, it's possible the visa officer may still approved your application. Unfortunately there's no way to say for sure either way.

I have the exact same situation to yours, any update?

Hope that helps, Good Luck!!!

So you only gave completion letter and transcript?

Yes -- both completion letter and transcript
And my transcript had the first semester ( Fall semester) as part-time as well as 2 part- time summers

Was your summer optional? or it was mandatory?

optional summers,
They care more if you worked during your part time semester during the school year (I didn't)

I guess part time summer doesnt count since summer is optional. How would they know have you worked or not? How to prove that?

Hey! I have a situation where I have 1 part-time term in the middle of my degree ( 8 credits, where 9 credits is considered full-time) and it was not a summer term. I saw that you wrote that you were in a similar position and you got a PGWP. Congratulations by the way! I was wondering if you could explain your situation and what explanation letter did you provide if any and what happened during the process? This may help me stress a little less

Best regards,

Daniyal.
