Hello,
I am asking for a friend. She studied a 1-year post-grad in 2019 and finished in 2020 then went to do another 2 years program. However, due to personal reasons, she has to withdraw in mid-2021 and change to another 1-year post-grad program and finally finished it recently.
So in this case, will she be eligible for 3 years of PGWP even though there was a gap of 1 year between her first and second post-grad program. She has never stopped studying just ended up changing school and programs.
IRCC notes that [The student completed more than one program from an eligible DLI within 2 years.] should still be able to get a 3 years work permit.

Any input would be hugely appreciated.

She needs to complete the two programs within two years. Her first program will not be elgibile since it started in 2019.
