PGWP Eligibility for 1 year Master program with an overseas exchange term

[William_peter]

Hi there. While looking for graduate programs, I came across a 12-moths Master program which has 4 to 6 months exchange component in Europe (Master in International Management). All fees will be paid to the university and it is a full time program. I just wanted to make sure that students with such a program would be eligible for a 1 year PGWP? Thanks!

You should complete no less than a half of your program in Canada to qualify for PGWP. Do a 4 months if possible because you never know what will happen in the future. However, maybe people can correct me if I’m wrong, this program would only qualify you for 1 year of PGWP

I see. Thank you for your answer
