Hello
I need immediate suggestions.
If I transfer from 2 year Post Baccalaureate Diploma in Business Management at Cape Breton University to any 1/2 year college Diploma/ 1 year college graduate certificate at college, will it affect on PGWP?
Should I maintain level of program while transfering DLI ? Can I transfer to 1 year College graduate certificate?
I need to make a decision, so I need genuine suggestions.
Thanks

No I haven't yet started. I would like to transfer after reaching in Canada?
So you have an approved study permit for CBU and no intention of studying there? If so you need a new study permit for your new program. This is not a PGWP issue so shouldn’t be posting here.

Hi All,

I made a mistake in PGWP. I did 2 courses and the application asked for the highest or most recent level of education. I submitted the latest course details and my work permit was issued for 1 year when I was entitled to 3 years. The application form was misleading and only 1 column was given to mention the academic course. What should I do to get the 3-year PGWP. I have applied for the same on the web form. Is this a common issue?
did they give you other 2 year pgwp work permit because my brother also have this kind of problem right now he get only 1 year pgwp work permit instead of 3 year

What is the issue as OP posted in 2020? What were his timelines of studying two programs? Did he include both transcripts/letters of completion? How long was each program? PGWP has changed rules too.


You may be able to get a PGWP that combines the length of each program.

Each of the programs you completed must be

  • PGWP eligible and
  • at least 8 months (or 900 hours for Quebec credentials) in length
You can’t get a PGWP if you already had one after completing an earlier program of study.

All you can do is wait as there are no timelines for reconsideration.

Ok. As mentioned he should retain a lawyer to help with next steps.
