The proof should confirm that the student in fact changed their program prior to November 1, 2024 Thank you kindly, [requester] From: Sent: [requester] To: Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[requester email]> ‘Subject: PGWP inquiry Dear [requester], tm reaching out to seek for clarification on the below scenario. An intemational student applied for their study permit (including extension) before November 1, 2024. The field of study requirement does not apply to them. However, for some reason, they need to extend their study permit for the same program after November 1, 2024, are they still eligible for a PGWP regardless of the field of study, or are they now subject to the field of study rule?
