Can I renew my PGWP when I finish my second degree?

[lvb125]

I ve just finished my 4 year honours bachelor degree from U of T as an international student, and ready to apply for a PGWP. I am also holding an offer to our applied master program which is 16 months long including 8 months of studying and 8 months of full-time internship. I am wondering weather I will be able to get another PGWP of 3 years length, after I finish this master's program. Another question is if the 8 months of internship would count as working experience when I apply the CEC.

You can only get one PGWP. So if you want to do the Master's and then apply for the PGWP, don't apply for the PGWP now. (Yes, you would still be eligible for 3 years).

No.

8 months of intership is included in ur studies so i dont think it will count towards cec. as far as pgwp goes its one time thing so make sure u apply when u r done masters otherwise u wont be able to apply for pgwp after masters if u apply now. been in that situation before, learned my lesson.
