Question about PGWP

[vash021]

I just got accepted in dalhousie for Masteral of applied Computer Science for 1 year
so this means that I will get 1 year PGWP which worries me

this course has 9 subjects and under dalhousie i need to have 3 subject per term to be considered as a fulltime student
If i take 3 subjects on winter and fall term (2015) and no subjects on summer term am I still considered as a fulltime student? or do i need to take summer classes

if i dont need to take summer classes that means i will take my last 3 subjects on jan 2016 after completing my masteral would i be given 1.5 years PGWP or are my studies still considered as 1 year??

Question above has been answered now last question below

if i complete my 1 year masters then take a 1 year graduate diploma/certifacate (1+1 = 2 years) am i eligible for 2 or 3 year PGWP?
Cause 1 year PGWP is cutting it too short
thank you

Anyone

 

[yesplease]

according to the rule of dalhousie, you have to get registered full time , you need to opt 3 semesters/year to maintain full time status.

UPDATE

Here is what I have read on CIC

Revised program criteria

Students holding a one-year graduate degree, diploma or certificate from a participating institution in Canada after having obtained, within the prior two years, a certificate, a diploma or degree from a participating 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.

Note: Participating institutions include the following: Canadian university, community college, CEGEP, publicly funded trade/technical school, or a private institution authorized by provincial/territorial statue to confer degrees (but only if the applicant received the credential in a program of study leading to a degree as authorized by the province and not in all programs of study offered by the private institution).

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 a participating institution in Canada after having obtained a degree in Canada at the same or in a different participating 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.

Example 3: A student attends a foreign post-secondary institution and transfers to a participating institution in Canada in order to complete their studies. Under this scenario, if the qualifying educational credential is issued at an institution outside of Canada, they would not qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit. However, if they did receive their educational credential from a participating Canadian institution, they may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit only for the length of time they studied in Canada.

Example 4: A student attends their first year at a private post-secondary educational institution in Canada not eligible under this program but then transfers to a participating post-secondary institution. Under this scenario they may be eligible for a post-graduation work permit program but only for the length of time they studied at the participating post-secondary institution.

I have highlighted example 2 and want other to weigh in on it
Do I fall under that example?

Wait until you get your degree from university with the completion date. You have to apply within 90 days of completion date for PGWP. Try to effectively utilize that time. Also, have an Off-Campus Work permit in the meantime, so that when you graduate it can function as a full work permit and you can take any job without restriction. You will get 3 years PGWP, as your program is greater than 1 year.

Yes Express Entry will have new rules, wait, watch and study them.
