PGWP reconsideration for final semester part-time status
My PGWP was refused in March 2026 because IRCC said I did not maintain full-time status during studies.
I completed 2 consecutive graduate certificate programs at Conestoga College. I was full-time throughout except my final semester of the first program because I only had to repeat 1 failed course to graduate.
Second program was fully full-time with no issues.
I submitted a reconsideration request with:
* college clarification letter,
* transcripts,
* completion letters,
* and supporting documents.
IRCC later confirmed they received everything and my file is now waiting for officer review.
Has anyone here had a similar situation where:
* only the final semester was part-time, or
* IRCC misunderstood transcripts/status?
What was the outcome of your reconsideration and how long did it take?
