Hey guys,

Just want to share my experience which could help someone.

After completing my M.Sc in Computer Science from the University of Regina, I applied for my PGWP on 1st September 2021.
I waited for almost 5 months and got a rejection on 6th February 2022. As a refusal reason, they mentioned that "I have not maintained the full-time student status throughout my course in Canada". However, I have fulfilled all the requirements for a full-time student including the co-op program. So, I considered this mistake as a misunderstanding of the officer.

As a result of this situation, I had to resign from my field job as well as my part-time job immediately. To be honest with you, it was a very depressing time and I felt totally blank. Thanks to my family and friends who supported me throughout this period.

Apart from this, I went to my university and explained my situation to the director of International Studies who wrote a letter on behalf of the university which contained proof of my full-time study. Moreover, I also contacted a well-known lawyer in my city who helped me to write an explanation letter. I applied for reconsideration as well as for re-apply with the university's letter and lawyer's letter attached on 11 February 2022.

Luckily, around one month, I got approval for my old [reconsideration] application on 15th March 2022.

Congrats, I had the same issue, I am still waiting for a response from IRCC. I applied for restoration with a letter from the school but not with a lawyer.

I applied on 4.2.2022 and still waiting. Did you call or send a web form or call for inquiries?

Hi, I think your case is different from my. If your school is part of the DLI, then it was a mistake from the officer. If so, then you can get approved very soon. I am waiting for 2 months now since I applied for reconsideration.

DLI doesn’t mean school is approved. You need to look at the schools that qualify for PGWP.
