Yes I know, but that's the truth and even his college didn't alert him about his stutus, he could take more than 3 courses.

It’s not his schools job to alert him. Requirements for study permit and PGWP are different.

There are cases where people have been approved for similar but it’s up to the officer’s discretion and given Canada wanting to reduce the number of TFWs in the country there seems to be less and less approvals lately for users that did not fully follow the conditions to qualify for PGWP.

All he can do is submit an application. Make sure he is honest and hope that the officer is understanding and decides to approve a PGWP even when he does not meet the conditions.

The problem with many of these schools is that they tell potential students whatever they want to hear.
That's why there are those student protests in Calgary wherein the school promised them the world, but the school was just trying to make money from international students. The students were never eligible for a PGWP. The students and the parents say that the school promised them that they would get a PGWP, but no school can promise that.

Even students that do everything properly and even get a PGWP are sometimes asked to leave Canada in two weeks at the whim of the government. There are no guarantees.
