If refused, can I reapply pgwp on border..? I know the chance to get the visa will be even lower than the first time. But I would like to explain my situation in person and ask to reconsider.. I want to do my best before moving on next back-up plan.
My friend you are not clear about how a PGWP works. If you flagpole(apply at the border) then as per your circumstances you risk an instant refusal. While if you apply online the outcome would certainly be a refusal but since the processing time is more than 90 days approximately it would give you time to come up with a plan B as @scylla rightly mentioned. Heed the advice and make an informed decision as PGWP is a once in lifetime opportunity.

You can certainly try applying at the border but should expect the results to be the same. It's a black and white rule. You cannot be part time for more than one term to qualify for a PGWP. Either you meet the requirements or you don't. CBSA generally isn't flexible and doesn't reconsider - they aren't IRCC. IRCC is occasionally flexible. So always some small hope the application you have in now may be approved.
Then would it be better to reapply online if I get refused?
Then can I get trv on border to stay in canada?

I'm not sure I understand the point of reapplying online if your first application is refused. But you certainly can if you want to.

No - you cannot get a TRV at the border. CBSA does not issue TRVs.

Question for you if you're able to answer for my sister, that would be great....


I know on their website it mentions that you can only be part time during the final term of your program but how about your course sequence doesn't allow you that and you become part time for only one term during your masters? but not the final term.

Also I think every university has their own full and part time statuses. For example for University of Ottawa, their full time status is 2 courses on Masters level and 4 courses on undergraduate level..... So do they consider each university's different full and part time standards?

Also if in the letter of enrollment, it mentions that you have been enrolled full time throughout your studies, would that help as well?
