URGENT HELP : PGWP REJECTED AT BORDER (withdrawn from program for one term)

[vigneshwaran]

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I got my PGWP rejected at the border.

I completed my M.Eng from Concordia University montreal. During my program, after completing 45 credits my GPA was less than 3.0 and hence I was withdrawn from program, later i was given permission to take 2 more courses to raise my GPA to 3.

Withdrawn from program: September 1 2015 (Completed 45 credits)
Reinstated back into the program: January 1 2016
Completed the program: August 2016

Until i was reinstated, I was not allowed to take any course.
When I took my official transcript and degree completion letter to the Border at localle, they told me that I am not eligible for the post graduate work permit because according to CIC rule
"You must have continuously studied full time in Canada and you must have completed a program of study that lasted at least eight months."

I explained him what happened and the reason, but he said he doesnt have the authority to consider it but only to check the eligibility and hence he rejected my application. He also charged $155 as processing free.

He asked to apply at CIC online with whatever reason that I have.

HELP :
I request people to please guide what to do next with my scenario, what should i do. Can i apply online , if so will they approve or is any other way.
Looking forward for some feedback from everyone.

Thank you all

Vignesh

As the officer explained you are not eligible.

You can try applying for the work permit and include all your documentation. Frankly this is a no brainer, you are simply not eligible... but maybe you can move the CBSA officer (wouldn't understand why, as you had less than 3.0 GPA)... who knows, try and see what happens.
