    Returning on PGWP with no job in Canada

    So this is quite embarrassing for me and not a situation i'm proud of at all, but got my 3 year PGWP in September. The job market in Toronto is terrible and despite having integrated well social life wise, done multiple co-ops and volunteer work opportunities as a university student, not only...

    Replacing passport before applying for PGWP, with study permit expiring in 3 months?

    Also the Netherlands participates in the ETA program so a TRV is not an issue for me, I don't require one.

    Replacing passport before applying for PGWP, with study permit expiring in 3 months?

    Sorry this probably should be obvious but I just want some advice. -I'm from the Netherlands (which allows the replacing of your passport even if not approaching the expiry date yet) and have lived in Canada for 3 years as a full-time international student, complying with all conditions and...

    Do I need a Co-op permit for less than 20 hours a week and where I don't also work off campus?

    So back in May I emailed my university as I wanted to do a placement course that offered a roughly 15 hour a week co-op for credit. I was told that because this co-op is not a required part to graduate, I could not obtain a co-op letter or work permit but that it would otherwise be fine to do...

    Co-op work permit "Required part of program"

    So I have a little bit of a problem, with my university degree there is a 4th year co-op placement course option, you don't get paid but you will get equivalent course credits which you have to pay for. Apart from this my university offers a separate paid internship program which they say is...

    Opinion on traveling back to Europe this summer for holidays (as a student)

    So have been happily in Canada roughly the past 7 months and enjoying the summer here with things finally opening in Toronto. I am thinking of heading back to Europe for 3-4 weeks for a quick holiday, especially since quarantine is no longer required, if im fully vaccinated since July 5th...

    Driving license as an international student in Ontario

    Thanks, I ended up calling an employee of the ministry of transport and apparently it's sort of a gray area as technically you're a visitor and technically not.. But thanks anyway!

    Driving license as an international student in Ontario

    Sorry I know not a permanent resident, but the issue is very confusing and the Ontario website is not clear on what is a resident or not and there seems to be no temporary resident forum for these type of issues. I am on a study permit, have a full driving license from my home country (the...

    Last semester part-time of a 2 year program, how long is the PGWP?

    Just wondering if anyone has experience with this, not even an experienced immigration lawyer could give me a clear answer. I am taking a 2 year program of which the last-semester is part-time by necessity (transfer credit). Will IRCC see this as having studied for 2 years in terms of PGWP...

    I got an email from IRCC

    Just out of curiosity, did you apply for the fall intake or deferred to a later intake? I applied in Mid-April and worried this is also going to happen to me now. I started online in Fall 2020. My university took 1.5 months to write an academic letter for my study financing so..
