Hi,
after 4 years, I have also come with the same confusion. But I hope by now you have already got the response to your question.
Though my course is considered as of 2 years, total continuous duration will be of 16 months. So can you please let me know the duration of the PGWP I shall get after the study?
If I refer to CIC website URL I get below information -

Officers may issue three-year work permits to individuals who complete a master’s degree in Canada when the DLI has confirmed in the written confirmation of program completion (e.g., an official letter or transcript) that the degree is 16 to 23 months in duration and does not include regularly scheduled breaks.
Thanks.
