how worried should I be about receiving pgwp?
I did my full 4 year undergrad at a designated university. I then went straight into my masters (2 year + thesis) at the same university. My biggest concern is that my final requirement (thesis) took much longer than expected and by default would be a "part time" course. I've been doing this part time course over several semesters. I've been in Canada from 2009 and I only visit home once a year. All my friends went straight to work so they're all here on pgwp. How can I tackle this proactively? I know officers make decisions on a case by case basis...i had so many plans here that I can't see myself being back home :(
 
There's really nothing you can do but apply for the PGWP and hope for the best.

PGWP are typically refused if you've been a part time student for more than one semester. One of the requirements to qualify for a PGWP is that you remain in school full time. It's fine if you have one semester that's part time. More than one semester is typically a problem.
