Hi Guys,

I heard from one of my friend who's staying in Canada that there is no guarantee that an International Student will get a Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) after completion of their course (8 months or more).

Is it true?

As per the CIC website:

1) less than eight months - you are not eligible for this PGWP

2) less than two years but more than eight months - you may get a work permit for a period no longer than the length of time you studied (for example, if you studied for nine months, a work permit may be issued for a period of nine months)

3) two years or more - a work permit may be issued for three years

(They have emphasised on the word 'may')


Has anyone been rejected a PGWP?

Please give me some insights.

Thanks & Regards,
Merwyn

Except for couple of things, there is no guarantee for any thing in this LIFE.

Anyway, if you have a proof that you have completed 8 months of study from a public college, you will get work permit (99%) if you apply within stipulated period. I know some people who got refused even after studying in a public college because they made some mistakes in their application.
