    PGWP application with only unofficial transcript to get maintained status ASAP

    Can you form a group with your classmates and request the college to postpone the final grade publication to the same date as completion letter ? That will resolve the issue. You can draft your PGWP application in advance ( check how many days it will last in draft) and just upload the remaining...

    How long do we get as PGWP for 1+1 program

    Simba has rightly interpreted. Please go to the link and click for option for all other program. Your case is more than 1 program which talks nothing about 3 years. I think ircc have removed the 3 years wording. I have received 3 years for 1+1 in the past but going through the current link, I...

Booked biometrics appointment for 22nd Aug and received extension approval on 1st Sep 2023 through email( they have your email as your application contains your email id). You can talk to IRCC to know...

    Extension of pgwp

    Just keep the proof of Canada post delivery date confirmation and you’ll be fine. Technically your application is in process( just not in the system yet).That date arguably will be treated as application submission ( IRCC even goes 7 days back before the courier delivery date). I wasn’t able to...

    Extension of pgwp

    I had filled IMM 5583, I don’t remember if I had seen IMM 5556 that time. Your starting questionnaire will lead to either of the form (not both). IMM 5583 title says student applying for work permit where IMM 5556 states worker.

    Study visa rejection chances for 10/15 years gap

    I had a study gap of 15 years and am here in Canada. Pick genuine strong programs preferably post graduation or masters which are in your field and are progressive ( no one can choose programs for you). Go for government colleges or universities( if you can afford). Choose good institutes not...

    If i extended the study permit but changed my mind, do I have to still learn the next course?

    Your student status ends, once you receive completion letter and transcript. Study permit for 2nd program won’t make you eligible for work or future pgwp unless you study.

    PGWP Extension After Public Policy

    The Opt - in option was in May 2023 hence max 18 months will go near Oct 2024. If remaining original six month was expiring in 2023 then probably you could have planned to extend that first and then use the public policy before it’s expiring. I have renewed my passport in Feb 2023 and received...

    Extension of pgwp

    I had a similar case. I used paper application for extending my pgwp with new passport. I don’t think the website will allow / route you to go through online option. I too would have preferred online. PGWP extension by public policy are different and can be applied online. That could have been...

    Minor study visa refusal!!

    35 Lakhs in INR / 55k plus in CAD is a good amount for one year. But am not sure how are you addressing the main issue. Visa officer has concluded that you will not leave Canada after completing the one year program and hence will require more funds in the future. What kind of realistic future...

    Minor study visa refusal!!

    Naturgrl has rightly pointed out that the profile in this case is different from other normal international students and a minor would require more funds than others. The profile has major issues as the applicant is looking for 1 year program which makes zero sense for a minor. Must be an...

    For this kind of income, I hope people are recording income, working kilometres and saving bills for claiming expenses. While main focus for international students is IRCC, it is easy to forget about CRA. Calculation for Tax Return won’t be easy if the mentioned things are not recorded.
