Hello. I'm planning on converting my Commercial Pilot License in Canada, and getting a Flight Instructor Rating too, but I have a few questions.

1) I heard that the Flight School may be eligible for PGWP but not all the programs are, is that true? How do I know which programs are eligible?

2) The official website says:

To be eligible for a PGWP, you must meet one of these requirements:

  • You’ve completed a flight training course at a Canadian training centre and now have a Canadian commercial pilot’s license, or
  • You have or you are in the process of getting an instructor’s rating, and you have a job offer to work as a flight instructor at a flight training centre.
My question is, if I convert my Commercial Pilot License, does that count as a flight training course so I won't need a job offer?

3) If I get a PGWP valid for one year, and I work as a Flight Instructor for one year, I can apply for PR and say I worked for a year? Or is it counted as part-time work?

Thanks for your time!

I am in a quite similar situation as you mate.The only difference is I have already converted my FAA CPL to Canadian CPL.
I enquired with many flight schools but none have a concrete reply stating whether just getting a instructor rating would qualify for a PGWP or not
Let me know if you have got any positive update since jan
