Hello everyone. I am recently considering to leave my PhD studies which is in a public university. Rather I am considering to study a 1-year program in a public college which will provide me a certificate in visual arts. I was wondering whether if I can still get a PGWP after getting a certificate from collage rather than a PhD degree. Thanks

Yes as long as the College is on the PGWP eligible list and you complies with the requirement.

Hi sanem, were you able to change your program from phd to post graduate certificate?
Post is from 2018 and rules have changed. Assume you are in Canada studying and have been for at least a semester or a year. You can change your DLI. Google “Change study permit”
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am in Canada studying and have been here for a year. I am considering leaving my Ph.D. for the 2-year post-graduate diploma in business technology at Seneca College. I was wondering will it be possible to get the PGWP if I change my study level.
