For how many times can I renew my study permit?

[lisizi]

I have some questions about my study permit. I have 9 more courses to complete my degree. I am usually taking 3 courses a semester, no classes during summer. I will be taking 3 classes for the next 3 semester (to be finished by Dec 2017). However, my study permit will expire in Dec 2016.
My question is: With 6 courses left, will my study permit be extended for an estimated completion date based on 5 courses/semester? In this case, Summer 2017? If I need to renew it again to take the 3 courses left, can they deny the 3rd extension?
I hope my question was clear.
Thanks.

It depends. If 3 classes is considered to be a full time course load - then you should be fine. If 3 classes is considered to be a part time course load - then you will have a problem on your hands both with the study permit extension and with the PGWP.
