No, only length of time is considered for PGWP.

Hi, what do you mean length of time? For example I transferred from masters in chemical engineering (course based) to masters in chemical engineering (thesis based)in the same university, so now I'll have to do 1.5 extra years since thesis needs more time. Will this affect my PGWP?

The longer you study in Canada, the more PGWP you get upto a maximum of 3 years.

Can somebody clear my query here?

PGD in communication engineering at Memorial university of Newfoundland

This course has 5 subjects, each subject has 3 credits and in each semester/term, you can cover/take atleast 1 subject.

Each term length - 4 months
Total course Length - 4x5 = 20 Months.

What would be my chances for PGWP for 3 years after this course?
