Hi everyone,
I need some advice regarding my PGWP eligibility. In my 2nd semester, I originally registered for 5 courses, but I received two transfer credits — one from my previous studies in India and one from my earlier program at Seneca (which I dropped after completing semesters 1 and 2). Because of these transfer credits, my course load automatically dropped to 3 courses, which made me part-time without me realizing it.
I continued working part-time that semester because I believed I was still considered full-time. I never intentionally dropped any course, and an immigration officer had advised me not to take any academic breaks, so I completed all 4 semesters continuously.
I’m now preparing to apply for my PGWP and I’m worried about whether being part-time only because of transfer credits, and working during that time, might cause any issues.
If anyone has experience or insight on how IRCC views this situation, I would really appreciate your guidance. Thanks!
