I have been full-time every semester of my program so far. This upcoming semester will be my final one, and I only need a reduced course load (below the full-time threshold) to finish my degree.

I also worked full-time this past summer, which was a scheduled break. From what I understand, IRCC requires you to be full-time immediately before and after a scheduled break, and to work full-time during the break.

My question: since I'll be under the full-time threshold next semester (though it qualifies under the final-semester exception), does that affect the validity of my full-time summer work? Or do I need to take extra courses I don't actually need just to stay "full-time" and protect my PGWP eligibility?
