I finished my Master
in Canada and received my degree in May 2015. I submitted my online application
for Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) in late May. Because my study permit would
expire in late July, I went to the border in Mid July, trying to get the PGWP
before the expiration of my study permit. However, because the document I
brought to the border did not specifically indicate the length of my program,
the CBSA officer thought the MEng Program I attended was a one-year program and
only gave me one-year work permit. The program is a 30 credits program, with
length of 12-16 mths from the official website. It’s not a two year program,
but almost all classmates I knew who attended the same program got three-year work
permit. I took three study terms to get the 30 credits; besides, I attended the
optional 8 mths Co-op program. Right now I have more than 40 credits on my
transcript. I am trying to send the inquiry to CIC Case Processing Centre right
now. Below are my questions. Thanks so much if you guys know any answers or
solutions!
1)
In my
inquiry to CIC, can I argue that the Co-op program can be regarded as part of
the program (it’s optional actually), but because I attended it, so my program can
be considered to be a combination of the MEng and Co-op program. 2)
Because
I want to apply for PR but holding a one year work permit is really hard for me
to accumulate one year experience, to apply for CEC. Is there anything else I can
do to alleviate the situation?
Thanks a million!! Edited by Vivian Fung - 09 Aug 2015 at 9:57pm |
