Beautiful British Columbia
Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
I am in BC
My friend in BC was enrolled into 16 courses PG program (=2 years), got SP for 2 years and transfered credits for SEVEN courses from her home country bachelor degree towards pG program. So it was only 9 courses left. It took her 2 semesters to finish. However, she did not graduate in April but asked the university for a permission to take another course from that program, the one with transferred credits. Graduated in December and got a 3 year PGWP.

I discussed this case with my another friend who worked as a Registrar in the university in Alberta , and she told me that usually when a student applies for PGWP CIC looks at the initial lengh of program and not a factual. CIC looks at the lengh of the program in your letter of acceptance from the university and a lengh of your SP (Let's assume that you were a student in a good standing all the time). However, my first friend did not take a risk to finish her 2 yr program in one year, and "extended" it for 1,5 years by taking that last course in the third semester and because of that or not ( I am not sure if she graduated in 1 year she would get 3 yr PGWP) she got 3 year PGWP.

Hello everyone,
I have some similar queries. I am studying in 2 year Post Degree Diploma in Business Management in B.C and having 20 courses with 60 credits.
But I also did MBA from my home country and studied almost 4 to 5 courses that are almost similar to the current one. So, I think to transfer the credits of those courses(subjects) to add up in my transcript rather than doing again. But, I am confused that if I will transfer credits then in future will I get 3-year PGWP or not? As I heard from my friends that embassy only consider your Canadian's study credits and that should be a minimum of 60 to earn 3-year PGWP. Please help me out from this confusion.

Have you received a study permit? The overlap in courses will likely be a concern. To get a student permit the program needs to lead to better career opportunities. The diploma is a step down from an MBA as well.

Yes, I got and I know this but I want to understand Business management with an international exposure so that is why I wanna do it. I have seen the differences as well.
