PGWP question

[jasjeet121]

I am a student studying in sheridan college, I have been full time student for last 3 semesters and now I need to repeat one course. the course is not available from college in January 2019, so there will be a gap in studies and after that in may the course will be available and I will be part time at that time.
Do you think this will affect post graduation work permit eligibility?
thank you

You must be a full-time student in every semester except your last semester to be eligible for a PGWP. If you take an unauthorized break or study part-time in any other semester you are ineligible.

Will my break will be unauthorized if the course is not available because college does not have classes? The gap will be caused by college only

Not necessarily.

So i have nothing to worry , right ?

No, if you don't study full-time in every semester but your last, or don't have authorized medical leave, you will be ineligible for a PGWP. Class scheduling is not necessarily a valid reason.

So what can i do to avoid this mess ?

Register for full-time classes in every semester. Take electives if you don't have enough required classes left.

This was my last semester i was full time before. I should not go on break if this happens

You need to be full-time in every semester except your last semester, period.
