Hi. I started college in May 2017. I recieved my completion letter from college for my Arts diploma and the date is April 22 2020 that they say I finished my diploma. The letter is dated May 6 and I received it May 8. My study permit expires on July 31. I don't have the best record in College. I'm good with studies but due to some personal and mental health issues my attendance wasn't great. I failed and repeated 4 courses and I got an A or atleast a B in them and most of the courses. I did one part time semester last year in Summer because when I was talking about it to my college counselor, she didn't tell me it'll affect my eligibility when I asked her if I'm allowed to be part time just for one semester because my mental health was suffering. I know it's no excuse but I would've never studied part time if I had known it'll affect my eligibility for pgwp.

Also, I'm married to a Canadian citizen for about 15 months now. We've known each other for almost 3 years and he's willing to sponsor me.

I just really wanted to atleast get a work permit on my own considering I've spent a lot of money on my college education.

What do I do now? If someone has any suggestions please help.

Grades and failures shouldn't matter, the part time does if it wasn't during a scheduled break, try and explain it as best you can and include any proof if available & hope for the best

Thank you for the reply. If the pgwp application gets rejected, what are my options then?
I guess my another option is to have legal status here in Canada so that I can apply for PR through sponsorship. How would I go about that?
