Hello Respected IRCC representatives,
Situation:
Student completed a two-year diploma program inside Canada between Fall 2021 and Winter 2023. (Sept 2021 till
April 2023)
Because of covid the college changed the program delivery method to hybrid, so students only went once a week
for lab in person, rest of the program was delivered in online classes.
IRC instructions for PGWP updated on August 25, 2022
International students studying online from abroad or who submit a study permit application no later than
August 31, 2022, will continue to be able to complete up to 100% of their program online without affecting their
PGWP eligibility.

Study got his PGWP because of these rules, and gained 1 year eligible Canadian experience
Now the student is creating his Express Entry profile under Canadian Experience Class
Question:
Will the student get CRS points for his Canadian education or not.
