Extending study to acquire PGWP

[Hieutr28]

Hi guys,
About my case, I have studied 2 years in my college, in my first 2 semesters because I was new to the country and the my poor comprehension in class, I could not study all of the classes, I dropped 3 out of 7 classes which make me part-time. Before hand, I had discussed with my success advisor of my program and they told me that my status will still remain full-time as long as I study 4 classes minimum and I kept come back and ask them the same question every beginning of the semester and the answer is always the same. Then suddenly they told me that I was part time last semester.
Now I am planning to maybe register for another program which is also 2 years long.
Will I be able to acquire PGWP this way? And is 4 classes or 12 credits count as full-time? ( I am from Centennial college)
Thanks.

IRCC leaves the determination of full-time vs. part-time to individual schools, as it can vary so widely depending on the school and the program. If the school says you were part-time, then IRCC will go with that.

while filling imm0008enu_2d form .In current status i have entered worker.

Q1) For start date ,Should I fill the date i applied for Post Graduate Work Permit or the date i received it ?


Second thing if I enter the date on which I received my work permit .Would it cause any confusion for officer as I started working in applied status and And i am counting it towards my express entry experience .


Any help would be appreciated.
