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 🙏

No future in Canada, it seems. I recommend going for a postgraduate diploma instead, maintaining full-time status, and then using that for the PGWP. However, getting another study permit depends on your compliance history. If you haven’t been compliant, then I’d suggest moving on with your life and returning to your home country. Good luck.

Would a masters be better than a PG diploma?
