Will there be any issues with the college if the visa is not granted or if the work permit duration is less than expected in Canada?

Yes, there can be issues if your Canadian study permit (student visa) is not granted or if your Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) is shorter than expected.

- No study permit: Without a valid study permit, you cannot enroll or remain enrolled in your college. This may lead to deregistration.
- Short PGWP: If your PGWP is shorter than expected, your post-study work options in Canada will be limited. This may affect your ability to gain Canadian work experience or apply for permanent residency.

If you face either situation, contact your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance on your next steps.
