I got admission in UCalgary for M.Eng Chemical and Petroleum with a specialisation in chemical. However, Iam intrested to enroll in one course which belongs to environmental specialisation. If i enroll in that course would i face any issues with pgwp in future based on these points.

No, the additional course will not be an issue for PGWP. The rule stated above is applicable if you are doing general interest or self-improvement courses only.

For example, if you did a a few courses over a period of 8 months, you would not be eligible for PGWP.

If you did a program for 8 months, then you would be eligible for PGWP.

Like I said before, they don't care if you did any online courses, as long as your main program is full time, you are OK. They are giving you PGWP based on your main program and not the additonal courses.

If you want to do online courses in your main program, then online courses should not be more than 50% of your program to get PGWP,
