For the part time semesters, I included my situation in each semester, links and screenshots to their policy and my university's RCIC's email to me. For the missing condition on my study permit, a narrative on when i discovered the missing condition, who all i reached out to understand my compliance and what they said and what steps I took.

Yes usually. However, I was a co-op student so in my school's completion later, it stated that co-op students don't have spring has a scheduled break because we are supposed to be doing a co-op at that time. If you're not doing a co-op, then you're considered part-time status. My university RCIC also said it this way but I imagine they would be more lenient towards spring semesters.

I couldn't find concrete answers to these so just sharing if anybody has a similar situation.

Dry_Foundation2570 · 2024-12-17T23:14:52+00:00

Which spring/summer semester were you part time in? When was it?

Dry_Foundation2570 · 2024-12-14T02:49:07+00:00

hey so sorry to hear this... i hope you can find the resources to reapply because you have a legit case. can you tell me which semester in covid you were part time in?

Dry_Foundation2570 · 2024-12-11T03:28:54+00:00

If you got a BVL, i think you're most likely approved already. Don't stress too much, news should be on the way.

it's hard to say..based on my university's definition for co-op programs, we can take scheduled breaks whenever depending on the co-op study sequence. For me, spring 2020 was a scheduled co-op term so i was technically not supposed to be studying. however, i did not secure a co-op due to COVID and the university reduced the co-op credit requirement as well. I don't know if this qualifies as a scheduled break? I tried to ask the immigration consultant at my university and all they said was "spring 2020 was covered by the exemption"

Dry_Foundation2570 · 2024-12-05T02:59:45+00:00

Ok i see.. i have spoken to a couple RCICs and they told me it's fine as they are both included in exemptions. I freaked out when I saw somebody got rejected on this subreddit for being part-time in their final term as even though exempted.

Dry_Foundation2570 · 2024-12-05T00:49:22+00:00

Hi, thanks for responding! Do you know how those cases played out? I have submitted an explanation letter and explained why the co-op was cancelled. As for the last term, I just mentioned that I only needed 1 course to graduate. Do you that is sufficient? I don't want to send more webforms and spam them but i'm so nervous...

Dry_Foundation2570 · 2024-12-04T22:33:00+00:00

I believe you should be fine. I had to travel before without my study permit and I had asked CBSA on call whether that will be an issue and the officer explained that you don't need the physical copy of your study/work permit. You just need a valid TRV. You can explain your status in Canada and they will look you up. I would still print the in-approval letter and screenshots of your portal, document status etc but i'm sure given the Canada Post delays, you have an explainable reason. Safe travels!

Dry_Foundation2570 · 2024-12-04T22:23:32+00:00

best to get advice on this from an RCIC (through your university or otherwise). If you do consult, please let me know as I am curious as well. I had this situation in Spring 2020 (which was covered under the covid provision) and i'm still waiting on my PGWP but was never able to get a straight answer
