So this is quite embarrassing for me and not a situation i'm proud of at all, but got my 3 year PGWP in September. The job market in Toronto is terrible and despite having integrated well social life wise, done multiple co-ops and volunteer work opportunities as a university student, not only...

Thanks! That clarified it for me, was worried about losing status

Also the Netherlands participates in the ETA program so a TRV is not an issue for me, I don't require one.

Sorry this probably should be obvious but I just want some advice. -I'm from the Netherlands (which allows the replacing of your passport even if not approaching the expiry date yet) and have lived in Canada for 3 years as a full-time international student, complying with all conditions and...

So back in May I emailed my university as I wanted to do a placement course that offered a roughly 15 hour a week co-op for credit. I was told that because this co-op is not a required part to graduate, I could not obtain a co-op letter or work permit but that it would otherwise be fine to do...

So I have a little bit of a problem, with my university degree there is a 4th year co-op placement course option, you don't get paid but you will get equivalent course credits which you have to pay for. Apart from this my university offers a separate paid internship program which they say is...

So have been happily in Canada roughly the past 7 months and enjoying the summer here with things finally opening in Toronto. I am thinking of heading back to Europe for 3-4 weeks for a quick holiday, especially since quarantine is no longer required, if im fully vaccinated since July 5th...

Thanks, I ended up calling an employee of the ministry of transport and apparently it's sort of a gray area as technically you're a visitor and technically not.. But thanks anyway!

Sorry I know not a permanent resident, but the issue is very confusing and the Ontario website is not clear on what is a resident or not and there seems to be no temporary resident forum for these type of issues. I am on a study permit, have a full driving license from my home country (the...

Thanks! Was very worried about this issue

Just wondering if anyone has experience with this, not even an experienced immigration lawyer could give me a clear answer. I am taking a 2 year program of which the last-semester is part-time by necessity (transfer credit). Will IRCC see this as having studied for 2 years in terms of PGWP...

Thanks!

Guys I finally got approved, letter of introduction and biometrics letter arrived together. Still cannot believe it after close to 7 Months of Anxiety. Checked it twice to see if it was real lol. For anyone who's interested in my details: Biometrics done in July 2019, for earlier study year...

Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, did you apply for the fall intake or deferred to a later intake? I applied in Mid-April and worried this is also going to happen to me now. I started online in Fall 2020. My university took 1.5 months to write an academic letter for my study financing so..

I don't believe your AIP has a set expiry date, because people like me and many others have been waiting from March and April and have gotten no guarantee that it will be processed by the end of the December, I am also from Europe and on ETA/no visa stamp required. And also gave my biometrics...

No i've started in the fall on an AIP, just that my stage 2 study permit (which I applied for in April) still has not arrived

In a normal year those who started in the fall and are studying for multiple years can work full-time in the summer months (in my case April to September), something I see as a big opportunity to get an internship/volunteer experience somewhere or just to travel and see the country. I'm...

I'm pretty sure the ETA in your letter is enough, I was able to travel on it last year. I think you can even check ETA validity just to be sure (better to look up the link on Google). Congrats btw!

Getting seriously concerned about my application from April with AIP in August.. I'm on the original DLI list, not exactly from a controversial country or from a background either in family ties or financially that has ever caused my problems.. Is anyone getting responses to webforms? Even if...
