Hello everyone,

I graduated from my undergrad program here in Canada, then received my PGWP, but only for 1.5 years due to my passport expiration date. After working for about 1.2 years, I decided to go back to school for my masters.

Now, I'm about to finish my masters program and was wondering if I could get the rest of my PGWP(additional 1.5 years out of 3 years) Is this possible?

Thanks!

I don't see how that's possible.

Unfortunately the PGWP is a one time deal only (i.e. you can only apply once). If you wanted to extend it to get the full length, you needed to so that before your PGWP expired.

What was the length of your program, in semesters?

As Scylla said, PGWP is one time deal only, you can't break it neither reapply it..
