Thanks
I know but I had one part-time study term with only one course (3 is considered full-time) so I'm super stressed.
The terms before and after that were both full-time. I've seen people rejected for only one part-time semester so I'm worried that I will get rejected (plus I have a job offer so don't wanna lose it)
Any idea how much chance mine got approved?

Nobody can really say, you are only allowed a part time semester in the last semester. If there is a part time course then it should be explained in the LOE or in the webform.

To be honest, it depends on whether it was a scheduled break for you or not. I have one part-time term in my undergrad career too. For me, Summer 2017 was a scheduled break and I took a part-time load. I am guessing you can take full/part/no load in your scheduled breaks. So, in this case, it should be okay. I still included a letter of explanation stating that Summer 2017 was a scheduled break.

No I was part-time in Fall 2019 (not my last term nor a scheduled break) but maintained full-time for all the other terms(including summer).
I did include a LOE saying I didn't take other course before of the prerequisites, not sure if this would help.
Anyone got approved with part-time semesters not during a scheduled break?

I'm not too sure, all of mine were full time credits. My work term was only valued at 3 credits but they still count that as full time, I have a letter from my institution for them to confirm that too. It would be down to the officer to decide. You did put a LOE so at least you were honest with it and they may approve you. What date did you apply?

It depends on the officer at the end of the day. How long was your program? I think if you were part-time just for one semester and full-time otherwise and also included the LOE, they might approve your application. Good luck! I hope you get the approval soon :)

Just spoke to an agent at IRCC and they said if we applied around May 11th we would be waiting until at least July before we hear anything.
