Hi guys,

I haven't completed this program yet, but I am confused about the PGWP validity after program completion.

The program is a post baccalaureate diploma in accounting. The duration of the program on its website states that it can be completed in 12-24+ months. It is continuous, meaning that you cant take a break in the summer term. And it is comprised of 14 courses, and to be considered full-time a student has to be enrolled in at least 3 courses per term.

If a student takes 3 courses to maintain full-time status per term, you can finish the course in 5 terms (3+3+3+3+2). My question and confusion is, how long will the PGWP validity be given for?

Thanks

if its 24 months and 4 semesters then 3 years pgwp
To maintain full-time status you need to take these courses in five semesters back-to-back(not allowed to take a summer/scheduled break). The program says 12-24+ months because it caters also to part-time students, thats why they added I think the 24 months. My confusion is if I completed it in 5 semesters, is it counted as a 20 months PGWP?

1. So you would attend 18 months, So PGWP 18 months.
