PostGraduate Work Permit question

[trueblue88]

Hello,

How can I verify that the course I registered for at a Private College (Calgary, AB) qualifies for a Post Graduate Work Permit? It's a 12 month course leading to a Network Administrator Diploma.

CIC website indicates that one of the requisites is that the degree must be authorized by the Province:
"a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees but only if you are enrolled in one of the programs of study leading to a degree as authorized by the province and not in all programs of study offered by the private institution"

Thanks!

You are doing 'diploma'. Only 'degree' courses at private schools qualify for PGWP.

Thanks, that was my fear. Is there any link you might recommend me where I can read more about which courses would actually qualify for a PGWP?

Thanks Scylla, yes, my school is in this list (sorry, the system won't allow me to quote your link). My concern is that as per the CIC it seems that not all courses qualify for a PGWP. How can I be sure that my course qualifies for a PGWP?

Read your first post again, answer is there.

Only degree courses qualify. Designated list is for admission, not PGWP.
