Hi All

I have a masters in the US, same school has been in CANADA as well.

From my old transcript in the US, I can see 6 courses out of 10 matching the new program in Canada. So, I’m only left with 4 courses/subjects to finish my masters.

The school is willing to transfer 3 courses/subjects so that I will be left with only 7 courses, which I can complete in 3 semesters.

I will be issued a masters degree as well.

Can I apply for BCPNP under International Graduate Stream?, as I only did 3 semesters and 7 courses.

While issuing an pgwp, does the officer look for time spent in the program? Or will I be issued 3 years of pgwp, since I completed the program?

I can't comment on the BCPNP program.

PGWP is only granted for the period of time you actually studied in Canada. So assume you'll get a PGWP that's the length of the 3 semesters.

Thank you @scylla

What if I completed 3 semesters from a school and successfully completed the program.

Before these 3 semesters, I did a one semester from an another school without completing the program.

Will I be getting 4 semesters of duration for my PGWP or the officer considers only 3 semesters?

No. Only completed programs count.
