Very strange case. Concordia Uni, Mtl is a well-known university. IRCC must be receiving pgwp application from the uni every now and then. Also, it's very common for masters students to have 2 courses in a term. Yes, less than 2 is a problem (except in the last term) . I hope you have not made any mistakes in your application unknowingly, otherwise its IRCC error. You can re-apply after discussing it with the student office. I don't think you need a lawyer for this unless there is something of concern in your past immigration history. You know yourself best.
If this system is normal for your Uni and others get PGWP doing this it might be a simple mistake, I would suggest asking for a reconsideration by calling IRCC and sending a WebForm, instead of applying again.
Just a note it might not matter what your university says is full time if CBSA determines you were not full time. There is an actual case of a guy loosing a judicial review on this, he was doing 1, 2 courses in some semester but Uni said he was full time and he got refused.

Yes it simply depends on what your University determines as full-time. Mine determines full time as 9 credits or 3 classes/sem
Hi all!
I'm in the same boat here. I have appied for PGWP after Masters (in Religion though) but do not have a responce from the IRCC yet. I took a thesis-based route of the program. During my first year (Fall 2018 and Winter 2019) I had 2 classes per term and fulfilled courses requirements for the program. Summer 2019, Fall 2019, Winter 2020 I worked on my thesis and defended it in June (Summer 2020). It says in my transcript that I was continiously registered for the Thesis. But based on some comments here in the forum, I`m a bit concerned regarding my application. Any thoughts about this?

I'm in similar situation. Usually for Msc thesis-option, we only need to take 5 course, and almost everyone in our school take less than 3 courses some semesters. But I've registered for a thesis course all the time which should be the proof that I maintained a full time status.
