Hi,
I have the following situation:
1) I arrived in Canada in May 2019 and obtained my study permit for a 2 years Masters Program. Once I realized that its gonna be bit intensive than regular Fall and Winter, I informed my university that I need an extension for a year upto Spring/Summar 2020, which I obtained from the university ( the Uni is listed as a DLI). After two weeks of staying in Canada without formally registering for classes, I returned home. FYI, I didnt apply for SIN nor did work during this two weeks.
2) In December 2019, I came again and this time, I obtained my SIN, made payments to my university to register myself for the classes in Winter 2020 term. I intend to finish it within 2 years by taking minimum number of courses required for international students.
3) My question is, since I didnt officially initiate my studies before Winter 2020 and after entering Canada in May 2019, I left the country within two weeks w/out working, would I be eligible for PGWP when I finish my studies?
Your insight would lift a lot of stress.
And finally, as an aside, what is flagpoling?
Thanks in advance for patient reading and perhaps helping me to alleviate my concerns.
