Actually, I am studying in a two year + co-op diploma program and is interested in getting a post-graduate work permit after I finish my program, but I have some serious confusions regarding full-time condition.
1) First confusion is that in a particular semester I took 3 courses (9 credits in total making it full time) and I finished my very first semester Spring 2016 FULL-TIME, got my grades and started the next semester Summer 2016. But right in the middle of the next semester, I got an email from my faculty dean who offered me (along with many other students) in a particular to withdrew from one particular course that we took in Spring 2016. I took benefit of that opportunity as my grades were not good and withdrew from one of the courses although I had already finished the course and whole semester. Later on, I realized that this thing resulted in making my 9 credits from that particular semester to be 6 credits as 3 credits were later on withdrawn. Now I am worried that will CIC count this Spring 2016 term as a part-time and will make me ineligible for a post graduate work permit even though I physically and intentionally was a full-time student (9 credits) for the whole semester, but later after finishing the semester and due to dean's special offer of withdrawing from the previous semester course, my courses became 6 credits (part-time)?
2) Second confusion is that my University doesn't offer courses every semester so let's say I completed quite many courses full-time, and later on at a particular time I wasn't able to find the next courses to register because it's not offered this semester and I have no choice to wait for the next semester because I can't take any other course as I have already completed them and is only stuck in few courses which, unfortunately, aren't offered this semester. As a result, there is a gap of one or more semester in between. Will CIC understand this as it is not my fault and NOT consider me a part-time student and ineligible for post graduate work permit?
I would really appreciate if you can help me as I am seriously worried. Thanks a million!
