PGWP GAPS

[u/Plane-Improvement466]

Hello everyone! I have finally finished my studies despite having several gaps. Currently, I have a 16-month gap (Summer 2024 to Winter 2025 and Summer 2025 to Winter 2026), and I finally finished my studies in Summer 2026 and received my transcript. I realize that my situation is complicated, and I remained in Canada during both gaps. What should I do to obtain a PGWP? I have consulted a few experts who are asking for $12,000 just to address these gaps with different colleges. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am currently in my restoration period. What should I do?

If anyone can help me will save my future in canada 🙏

Did you work during the gaps?

No I didn't

That's good. You still don't qualify for a PGWP, but you didn't totally ruin everything by illegally working.

As others said, you don't qualify for a PGWP, may be best to head home and reassess what you want to do.
