Hi! It's great seeing all the responses and learning about your experiences! Here's what my situation looks like:

Applied for PGWP online: MAY 17th
Current processing times: 52 days.
Expecting to hear back the week of JULY 10th.

Meanwhile, patiently waiting and hoping the processing time won't be longer, although the Canada day weekend may slow down the processing times a bit.

Hello Everyone.

I am an international student and a graduate from University of Waterloo. I was just graduated on May and I went to the port of entry to apply for the PGWP. But they refused me twice. The reason they gave to me was that I had 3 part time terms throughout my 4 years study. In my school, minimum number of course load for full time is 3.
My study timeline is
fall 2013: 5 course load
winter/spring/fall 2014: 4/3/4 course load
winter/spring/fall 2015: 2/3/2 course load
winter/spring/fall 2016: 2/5/5 course load
winter 2017: 5 course load.
For fall 2015 and winter 2016, I originally enrolled 4 courses but drop into 2 courses before the final.
My academic standing is just good standing.
Can anyone give me some advice? Does it mean I wont get the PGWP? Should I try to apply online?or go to the port of entry once again?
My study permit expires on July 31th.

it seems like you do have 3 part time terms: winter 2015, fall 2015 and winter 2016. To be eligible for PGWP you have to have been a full time student throughout the duration of your studies.

What if I write the explanation letter? Do I still have some chance to get a PGWP?
