Hello,
I have just completed a Medical Language certificate program from a DLI here in Canada. It is a 15 Credit Unit (5 courses) program.
I intend applying for a PGWP with the certificate program.
I spoke with a student advisor at my university and with an immigration lawyer and they both said similar things; that they're not sure if the program is PGWP eligible because, the immigration officer that would process my application could view the program as a program that can be completed within four months.
Technically, it can't be completed within four months as two of the required courses are a prerequisite for the other two. Hence, there's no way I could have been able to take a prerequisite and it's succeeding course in the same term.
The smallest period of time one can spend to obtain this certificate is 8 months, which should indicate that it is a PGWP eligible program.
However, it took me a year and half to complete the program.
But right now, I need help. I am confused on what to do.
Please, I'd like to ask if there is any one who has gone through or is going through a similar issue or has an idea on what I can do next?
Thank you.
