[@rashid_ali]

They announced that post-graduate level course graduates will be able to apply for a 3 year PGWP. That should apply to you as well. Even now, if you study 1 year diploma, then study another 1 year diploma, you're eligible for a 2-3 year PGWP.

Hi Vikrant, You came here on a 1 year diploma, that you are enrolled in. And later you will switch to a different program ? If your education is post-graduate, not undergrad level e.g. diploma after high school, and as long as that DLI is not a PPP, you should be eligible for a 3 year PGWP.

So far it seems that this PGWP restriction on PPP's will only be for those who start their study on or after Sep 1, 2024. So I think you will be eligible for a PGWP since you started in Jan 2024. IRCC knows that students will protest and it will be unfair and a disaster to do this without giving proper notice. Hence, the Sep 1st cut-off date.

My colleagues and I believe we heard this week from Miller: For higher populated provinces like Ontario a two year 50% cap is being launched effecting Sept 2024 semester+. Less populated provinces, 35%. However certain students are cap-exempt, i.e. physicians, nurses, skilled trade workers. International students will need to attach a "provincial attestation" to their study permit. Meaning the student must legally verify (via Canadian standards) that ALL of their necessary documents are indeed authentic. Including showing they have $21,000 in savings (after their tuition for a year is paid plus roundtrip travel costs). Elements of monthly bank records will need to be shown (if asked for) proving the money is indeed THEIRS plus THEY are using it to pay for things they need from WITHIN Canada. No fraud. No work permit for spouses. Unless the student is exempt, i.e. a physician. Hence eliminating all the fake marriages. Student's work permit expires upon graduation. Unless they qualify for exemptions. Caps/restrictions/strict-authentications. PRIVATE colleges investigated (foreign interference). Cda schools are no longer to be used for people solely wanting PR or, even worse, plan on staying in Cda illegally if disqualified. No more foreign agents, aka smugglers, cashing in too.

Are you studying at Cestar college in toronto ? So far it seems that you will be safe since you've enrolled before Sep 01, 2024. But IRCC is full of surprises, so we should wait for more details and confirmation.

@rashid_ali Thank you so much for prompt reply. It is Lambton College, but they have a partnership with Cestar College here in Toronto.

Need to know more details about the program, the institute whether or not it is in a curriculum licensing agreement with a college, before commenting. And for skilled trades, more details are yet to be provided by the government.

You mean Trebas Institute Ontario ? Since you are already enrolled you should not be impacted by the PGWP issue.
