POST GRADUATION WORK PERMIT (PGWP) RELATED

[enfield]

Hi,

Hi,

How are you so sure about this?

I have seen a lot of students getting 3 years PGWP with two 1-year programs. You can find the same in this forum as well.

1. It's possible if at least one of the course is a 1 year degree, and no more than 2 years gap between both courses.

Thanks for the clarification enfield.

exactly......i forgot to mention the degree part....if we do two diplomas or certificate course of one yr together then we will only get one yr of work permit....but if we do degree and diploma/certificate then we get 3 yrs of work permit.

1. With two consecutive diplomas/certificate, you should expect at least a 2 year PGWP.

1. Revised program criteria

Students holding a one‑year graduate degree or diploma from a provincially or territorially accredited post‑secondary educational/training institution in Canada after having obtained, within the prior two years, a diploma or degree from an accredited post‑secondary educational/training institution in Canada may qualify for a three‑year work permit. This exception also applies to students who have left Canada temporarily between programs of study.


Example 1: A student who obtained a one‑year MBA from a provincially or territorially accredited post‑secondary institution in Canada after having obtained a one‑year diploma, no more than two years before obtaining the MBA, would be allowed to cumulate both degrees and therefore would be eligible for a three‑year post‑graduation work permit.

Example 2: A student who obtained a one‑year diploma or certificate from either a provincially or territorially accredited post‑secondary institution in Canada after having obtained a degree in Canada at the same or in a different provincially or territorially accredited post‑secondary institution within the previous two years would be allowed to cumulate both educational credentials and therefore would be eligible for a three‑year post‑graduation work permit.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this thread, I'm currently applying for PR, and in a few days it will be a year since CIC received my application.

I can't wait any longer and I have to apply for a PGWP. I'm defending my degree before May 2013, but I do not an official defence date yet.
I have submitted my thesis though.

Would any of you who have already applied to PGWP be kind enought to provide a template and what is on your letter of confirmation from your faculty/program office?

It would be really helpful, as my school is refusing to give it to me and state that "I have met all of my degree requirements".

They were only willing to say that I completed course work and that I'm awaiting defense after submitting my thesis.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
