Hello,
I am an international student pursuing a 2 year diploma program at Centennial College.
I am also enrolled in co-op program which entitles me to work for 8 months full time.
I started my education in Winter 2017 and since then completed 3 semesters of study ( Winter, Summer and Fall 2017). During all the semesters I maintained my full time student status.
Presently(Winter 2018) I am doing my first work term.
I plan to return to full time studies( 5 courses) in Summer 2018 (unless I get a second work term in Summer). Otherwise I will search for second work term during Fall 2018. Lets say I do get my second work term in Fall 2018.
That leaves me with 8 more courses to be completed. The problem is that some courses I need to take may not be available in 2019 winter and I may end up with part time status in that semester, followed by another part time or full time semester in Summer 2019.
Does this situation leaves me at the risk of not getting a work permit after I am done my diploma?
I have heard that CIC does not like students having a part time semester in the middle of their studies unless its your last semester. But my situation is completely out of my control.
Please help.
