Hello Everyone,

I just want to ask a question regarding the Post Graduate Work Permit that I am a student of 2 year computer diploma course, I have stared my study in Canada in January 2012 and I was upgrading my english and math during January 2012(winter semester), May 2012(summer semester)(Full time student with more than 12 credits), but from September 2012(Fall Semester) I have started my full academic semester, means this September 2012 (Fall 2012 Sem) is my first academic semester(full time student with more than 15 credits), and I am near to done it so, I have already register for January 2013 (winter semester 2013)(full time student with 10 credits). In the meantime my University transfer my credits from India for this diploma,and now I need to do only 5 more courses to get diploma. From these 5 course I have already register for 3 courses in winter 2013, and on rest 2 university is still processing my request for transferring the credits and most probably I will get credits for those 2 courses too.

So, my question is that this is my 2 year diploma, but due to my credits are transferred so obviously I will get my diploma sooner after winter 2013, but I have done 2 full time academic semesters in university so,could I eligible to have post graduate work permit for 2 years or more than 2 years, or I will get WP only for the duration how long I have studied in Canada. my point is that after end of winter 2013 semester I will done 4 semesters in university so university will give me the certificate for 2 year diploma, and then I will eligible to have WP for 2 years or more than 2 years. AM I RIGHT OR NOT.?? or ...Do I need to spend 2 years i university to have WP for 2 years or more than 2 years and strictly I need to be full time and academic in all semesters because I am not full time and academic student in fist semester and then I was full time in Summer 2012 semester but not academic. from fall 2012 till present I am full time and academic too. please share your answers many many thx in advance..

You can't count your transfer credits because you didn't receives these through studying in Canada. You will receive a WP based on the studies you actually completed in Canada.
