thoughts on Post study work permit please .......

[lily21]

is a 20 month course equivalent to 2 years of study. Am thinking of applying for this MA program that runs for either

three terms (september to August)

or

5 terms (20 months) from September to August for the 1st year and September to April for the second year- will this be considered 2 years or 20 months ? and am i likely to get a 20 month , 2 years or 3 years PSWP?

or should i just do it for a year (save money that way) and just apply for a one year pswp

thanks guys

Hi,

2 Academic years study = Minimum 16 months or 4 semesters of full time study.

Studies of minimum 2 academic years/ 16 months/ 4 semesters - eligible for maximum possible 3 years work permit.

Sometimes, Master degrees of less than 4 semesters/16months, having equivalent or more number of credit hours/credit load to that of a similar 16months/4 sem Master degree course MAY be eligible for a 3 years PGWP. So... in your case, I think it's more about the credit load/credit hours/ total credit hours than that of the number of terms... i.e if you 'r talking about having the option of completing the SAME MASTER DEGREE COURSE IN 3 OR 5 TERMS.. The sooner you complete, the more study load/credit hours you will have.

Ultimately, depends on the VO issuing the PGWP.

Best of Luck.

I studied for 17 months and last month recieved my pgwp in mail..I even took a part time course in summer and that didnt effected my pgwp either...Dont worry as long as they can see 4 semesters on your transcripts, you should be ok.....Credit hours can matter too, in the end of the day pgwp's are not really rejected on a seldom basis, I have seen students with alot of academic difficulty who have spent a few semesters part-time easily recieving their 3 year permits..You should be ok..
