Hi,
I wanted ask if there are any case that is similar to mine and your thoughts on it.

So I have applied for the PGWP in June and am waiting for a decision. Due to not receiving a study permit in time for the start of school (Suppose to start Sept 2015 but I got my study permit in October), I missed the fall semester. However, I deferred my enrolment to the winter semester that started Jan 2016 (which, made me a part time student for 1 semester). After the winter semester, I was a full time student for 3 years until graduation (4 year program).

Does the deferral and part time studies of one semester qualify for the exception (leave from studies) mentioned in the PGWP eligibility?

Thank you

The suspense is killing me! I applied on May 14th. Hopefully I’ll get my approval soon. Cheers! And keep the positivity :)

Hi vp2019, I'm in the same situation. My start date got deferred because I messed up the enrolment date for first semester (I thought it's late August but was actually mid August). I started in January and had to gap between my study. You should be okay as the new rule stated that you should start full-time next semester (which you did).

I started my next semester part time because if you miss the fall semester, you can not be full time as it is based on the course load that you take and you arent able to take on a full time course loud in one semester.
