Yes, we've seen people refused here due to taking an unscheduled break.

Really? Even if you have a strong reason?

 

[Naturgrl]

Depends. Did you have school approval for the break?

 

[nk1]

Not yet. I have emailed them. Let's see what they reply

Finacial reasons are not really a valid reason so you will not be eligible for a PGWP. If you can’t afford tuition what are you doing right now? How will you pay for your tuition.

Actually I'm facing financial difficulties and I can not manage my tuition fees right now

Financial difficulty is actually a very weak reason to taking a break. It will hinder you in any applications in the future.

Yeah I know. But the actual reason is that I'm feeling weak not able to focus on my studies. And need a break

But the question is has anyone taken an unofficial break?

It's up to you. If you go part-time or skip a semester you go from being legally entitled to a PGWP to being subjectively assessed depending on the judgment of a VO. It may go your way or it may not but you have no legal standing to contest that decision.

Hello there. I have taken an unofficial break because I had to complete a course and it was not available during the semester. However, I was a full - time student up until then and now I finished my final semester Part-time completing the course and program. Is there any chance my PGWP application might be refused?
