It sounds like your friend was correctly refused. Just because a school is on the DLI list and qualifies for a study permit, doesn't mean it will also qualify for a PGWP. If a school is a private school (like your school) there are additional requirements the school and program need to meet in order for students to qualify for a PGWP. Massage programs typically don't qualify.

The following page contains detailed information about the requirements your school/program has to meet to qualify for a PGWP:

Have you tried asking the school? If others have gone through the program, ask the alumni or the school.
