Canada

Speaking of which, I feel like many people are missing the context here (ahem redditors)

When Canada ended PGWPs for colleges in fields that aren't in demand, it only applied to people enrolling after a certain date. These students were enrolled before then.

Another thing is IRCC never mentioned anything about non-credit classes being ineligible for pgwp until after they graduated and applied for PGWP. So by our rules, these students can get a work permit but Canada won't give it to them.

Now this is scary. Why? Because it shows IRCC is willing to make up its own rule and enforce it without regard to others, especially to applications already in process. And people aren't going to trust Canada to respect them while being here. It's basically "I'm altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it further" line from Darth Vader.

That's why I believe these former students deserve PGWPs. They're not the norm. They are the exception. And it's simply following our own rules. We've asked international students to follow the rules here. It's time we also follow our own rules as well

And we're not going to get cases like these in the future with the changed rules
