CEC – Does foreign online study affect Canadian work experience on PGWP?

[Applicant2026]

Hi, I am in a similar situation...I did a full-time remote 1 year post grad program in the UK while concurrently working in Canada. The truth is I cannot mark it as part-time since it was clearly outlined on the program's official website that it's a full-time program...

Have you started your EE application yet?

Hi, thanks for sharing. If you don’t mind, could you please let me know which university and which program you were enrolled in? It would really help me understand your situation better.

Hi, it was OTHM (1yr post grad remote program in the UK). I already have a bachelors degree in Canada. Even though the website says full-time, the program is remote & flexible & asynchrous. What about you?

Hi, in my case both the enrolment letter and the university website clearly mention that the program is part-time. However, the issue is that they have also mentioned recommended study hours of around 40 hours per week, which is why I am a bit worried about how this might be interpreted.
Also, did you get a WES evaluation for your postgrad credential? If yes, what equivalency did you receive?

I did, it was evaluated as post-graduate program (1 year) on WES. Have you received an ITA?
