Hey guys,

I want to share my story with some of you cause ive been seeing alot of students asking questions about work permit, part time studies.

So I came to canada in 2014 Sept, finished my second sem in April 2015, I filed my taxes in May 2015 just to show the government I wasnt doing anything illegal. Took summer break continued my studies in last semester I failed in 2 courses. Filed my taxes in 2016. Then I was supposed to study during summer but the company I was working for offered me to relocate and I did without knowing I was supposed to continue my studies but again it was summer and cic mentioned about summer break then my study permit was expiring in july. So I applied my study permit on part time basis. Got approved. I thought about doing my courses online but I talked to my school and they suggested not to. So i quit my job and did my courses in class. Best decision ever. I wasn't able to work so I didn't cause part time students can't work. . In December I completed my program applied for my work permit within 90 days and got approval.

I would strongly suggest to do your taxes every year so the government can be aware of your work , not to study online it can really hinder your chances for work permit and I wouldn't suggest being a part time student during your studies unless it's the final semester, being a part time student in the middle of your studies won't go in your favor.

If you have any questions. I would be happy to answer them.

Hi, thanks for sharing your stories. Can you also share the timeline of your application for PGWP? (when did you apply and when did you get approved?)
