PGWP Refused For Part Time Studies Allegation I Was On A Co-Op

[Bavneet (Admin)]

The part time studies you did, for the summer semesters due to your Co-op hours, is totally fine. It does not make you ineligible for post graduation work permit. The problem is the one winter semester in which you dropped voluntarily to become part time student. This winter semester was not the final semester, that would have made you ineligible for PGWP.

You have one option to apply for a new program of study and obtain PGWP on the basis of that new program, or to find work supported by LMIA. The PGWP is very clear on eligibility and accepts part time studies only in the very last semester of study.
