Hi Max, I need some guidance on how to correctly fill out the "EDUCATION" section of the IMM5710e form for students who have completed 1+1 programs. Should we list it as a combination of both programs in IMM5710e form? For example, should the "From Date" be the start date of the first program, and should we mention both fields and levels of study (like Project/Organization Management) and both schools (University College and ABC College) under one entry? I'm asking because there have been instances where students who completed 1+1 programs were denied the 3-year PGWP. Any advice on how to avoid such issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help! It might help others who watches your helpful videos.

Hi Max, thanks for the video. I couldnt recover my account because of change in device used during my application of a study permit last year. I had to create a new GC key for a new account. Following your steps i mistakenly filled the questions for the pgwp online now when i logged in my new account i was asked to provide personal reference code which was given when i completed the questionnaire online. The fee has increased to $255 because of an open work permit holder fee. What can I do to rectify this? Thank you
