Hi everyone,
My situation is a little bit complicated but I'll try to explain it.
So I came to Canada in 2013 to study in a 4 year program in college. After completing 1.5 years I had to drop out and go back to my home country because my sponsor wasn't able to support me anymore due to reasons way beyond our control (war/armed conflict in home country). After spending 3 months at home I decided to come back. Luckily my program had a coop work term, so I did that. I also transferred to a shorter program (2 years). I resumed my studies in winter 2016 and since I already had credits from the previous program I was able to shorten the amount of studies I have to take. I'm supposed to graduate in January 2017 and was planning to apply for PGWP.
So, here it comes. In order to be eligible you have to study continuously. I didn't. I dropped out, than did a random coop term, then was out of everything for couple of months because my coop ended in October and classes were supposed to start in September so I missed that semester. I know that this sounds extra sketchy, but heres what I was thinking. I'll be applying for a work permit after I completed 2 year program. Technically I completed it faster because I had credits from previous studies (those studies didn't get me anything because I didn't finish the program, just 3 semesters). And if you don't look at the coop term I did complete the program continuously because of my transferred credits. Will this count? What are your thoughts about this? How strict are they about this anyways?
I only have a semester of school to go and I wanna start getting ready to apply for the permit so I want to know if I should try to explain my situation with my initial application or see if it might go through and take this risk? And I always wondered where they get their information. Do they contact the school? Do they have access to all hidden databases?
Any thoughts will be appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
