Hi guys! long time!
May question lang ako regarding sa renewal / extension ng student permit...
I'm currently taking a 1-year postgraduate certificate sa Centennial and I started last Sept 2017 (Fall intake)... yung program ko kasi may optional co-op program which is an extra semester (4-5 months).. i'm planning to take the co-op which means I have to extend yung student permit ko...
the thing is, syempre it will not be enough if i'm aiming to get a PWGP na worth 3 years kasi diba kelangan at least 2 years worth of Canadian educational background ang kailangan? kasi if i choose to finish my 1-year cert + 4-5 months co-op program, then that would mean na parang 1.5 years of Canadian studies lang nagawa ko technically, right? so binabalak ko na magtake ng isa pang 1-year certificate para maging sure na 2+ years of Canadian education makuha ko para mas mataas chances na 3-year PGWP ma-grant sa akin.
That said, I just wanted to ask:
1. is there a limit to the number of times you get your student permit extended?
2. if i do extend my student permit twice, will it affect my chances regarding PGWP and in the long run, the PR/express entry?
3. would it be better if i just not pursue the 4-month co-op program after my 1-year cert is finished and that i just take another 1-year cert after i finish my initial 1-year certificate?
4. has anybody else had the same experience?
namiss ko na mga tao dito sa forums and super laki ng help ng forums ito when it came to applying for my student permit a couple of months ago... would appreciate the feedback!
