The Unwanted Truth
  1. International students must always be full time during their studies in order to apply for their PGWP. Any part time semesters taken may affect the application and may lead to a refusal. But fear not, we are able to assist you in finding a solution to this problem like we did for many applicants before you.
  2. What most students do not know is that study permits expire after 90 days from your graduation even if you have more than 3 months left on your study permit.
  3. This means applying for PGWP early with us may give you another chance to apply and restore your status before the 90 days period is over.
  4. If the 90 days period pass and you haven’t applied for your PGWP and you did not switch on other status, you may not be able to reapply again as you have lost your status in Canada, and you must leave the country.
