    A quick addendum to this, apparently Ontario PNPs are closed for the rest of the year. I'm still not sure about any of the others, but maybe someone else knows ?

    I agree with this. This table shows that the minimum for your second credential is 1 year: cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/ECA_table_EN.pdf I have a related question.
