PGWP eligibility

[sam.devilz19]

Hello, I'm a full-time graduate student in a thesis-based program. Due to the nature of my research, there has been delay in my program completion. The typical program duration for my masters program is 2 years. However, it has been 3 more semesters post the initial 2 years (6 semesters) of the program. I'm hoping to graduate by the end of 9th semester.

Wondering if taking more than "normal duration" of a thesis-based program, affect the chances of PGWP? Note: I've been registered as a full-time student for all the semesters taken so far. Thank you.

You shouldn't have any issues getting a PGWP if you have been a full time student throughout your studies.
