Can I just say that I’m really happy they are processing pgwp applications so much more efficiently now! It keeps me hopeful
Hi guys I’ve been trying to find info regarding whether a part time term would affect PGWP in this thread but don’t see any... so I’d just like to ask anyone who’s had experience taking one part time term but still got there PGWP...
I had one part time semester in 2018 spring but was full time in both summer 2018 and fall 2018, and in all other school years and semesters including the summer semester (goes to SFU which runs on a trimester system). Please if someone who’s had or heard of similar experience please let me know if the PGWP was approved.... I’m pretty frustrated now
Thanks!

you should have a valid reason why you were part-time. If you tell them oh i just wanted to have a break from school they wont accept it.Hi guys I’ve been trying to find info regarding whether a part time term would affect PGWP in this thread but don’t see any... so I’d just like to ask anyone who’s had experience taking one part time term but still got there PGWP...

There are actually many posts about this topic in this thread. But if you haven't submitted your PGWP application yet, you must provide a Letter of Explanation which describes your reason for being part-time during that semester. If you could provide a sound reason (e.g. medical reasons) and can provide proof of documentation in your application, that would work. If you are still not sure what to do, the best thing you can do is seek advice from a paralegal or lawyer.Hi guys I’ve been trying to find info regarding whether a part time term would affect PGWP in this thread but don’t see any... so I’d just like to ask anyone who’s had experience taking one part time term but still got there PGWP...

Update! Applied May 4, 2020 without biometrics (in Canada, never left Canada during the entire process); Eligibility Review began on October 3, 2020, and approved on the same day.
Best of luck to everybody else out there! May the odds be ever in your favour.

By the rules you are not allowed to be part time except for last semester. So now its up to he officer to decide if you will get the PGWP, sometimes people do get them but its a game of chance.Hi guys I’ve been trying to find info regarding whether a part time term would affect PGWP in this thread but don’t see any... so I’d just like to ask anyone who’s had experience taking one part time term but still got there PGWP...

how long did take between eligibility review and approval? I'm on the same boat as you applied on May 4th as wellUpdate! Applied May 4, 2020 without biometrics (in Canada, never left Canada during the entire process); Eligibility Review began on October 3, 2020, and approved on the same day.

Hey guys, I applied on May 5th and Eligibility Review begins today(probably yesterday which I'm not very sure). Now just waiting for final decision. Wish I can just get approved without any issue.
