Hey guys,
My brother completed two full-time programs at The University of Western Ontario: a Master's Degree in Engineering (Software Engineering) and a Graduate Diploma in Engineering Leadership & Innovation (Total 16 months). He applied for PGWP and got it issued only for 1 year. As per the IRCC policy update of February 15, 2024, graduates of a master's program of at least 8 months are eligible for a 3-year PGWP. His program meets all criteria, and all his batch-mates received a 3 yrs PGWP.
This whole situation is not only stressful but annoying as well because it seems like IRCC themselves are not following set standards and no clear explanation has been provided even after submitting 3 webforms. In the last webform submitted in last week of October, IRCC Agent mentioned that the request has been forwarded to the concerned office and we will be informed. But no update since then.
Did anyone come across similar situation? Any suggestions here?
Thanks in advance!
