Eligibility for three years work permit

[EddySharma]

Hi,

I have one important question.

I was doing a 2 years diploma program. I started studying in September 2018. In Sept-Dec 2018 and Jan-April 2019, I was a full-time student, However, there was no course in Summers May-Aug 2019 so I haven't taken any course in Summer 2019. In fall 2019, I did my co-op from Sept-Dec 2019 and In Jan 2020 I was back at school, however, I needed only 2 courses to complete my diploma so I took only 2 courses and was a part-time student because it was my last semester.

so in short
I did 4 semesters in which the first 2 semesters I was full-time and in 3rd semester I did my co-op with eligible co-op work permit and then I was back to school for the last semester but with part-time studies.

So now I'm wondering, M I still eligible for 3 years pgwp or 1.5 years pgwp only?

Thank you
Regards

In the summer when you took no courses was that a scheduled break for your program? If not you are bot elligable at all for PGWP but it could still be granted.

Scheduled breaks & Coops are considered study time so you should get 3 years but its best to check with your school.

Very strange that you completed 2 full-time semesters and it was a 2 year course yet you only had 2 outstanding courses.
