The gap between 2 courses should be less than 3 months otherwise your study permit will expire. you have to do 1+1 course back to back. basically, one can't take one intake off.

Hi guys! Is it possible to have two Graduate Certificate & get a 3 years pgwp???

As per rules, you can accumulate 2 courses for a longer PGWP provided the gap between 2 courses must not be more than 2 years.

But at the same time PGWP is a one time thing. If someone got PGWP once, they can't get PGWP for second time.

Hello Manpreet,

I hope this helps you :

[Revised program criteria]

Students holding a one‑year graduate degree or diploma from a provincially or territorially accredited post‑secondary educational/training institution in Canada after having obtained, within the prior two years, a diploma or degree from an accredited post‑secondary educational/training institution in Canada may qualify for a three‑year work permit. This exception also applies to students who have left Canada temporarily between programs of study.

Example 1 : A student who obtained a one‑year MBA from a provincially or territorially accredited post‑secondary institution in Canada after having obtained a one‑year diploma, no more than two years before obtaining the MBA, would be allowed to cumulate both degrees and therefore would be eligible for a three‑year post‑graduation work permit.

Example 2 : A student who obtained a one‑year diploma or certificate from either a provincially or territorially accredited post‑secondary institution in Canada after having obtained a degree in Canada at the same or in a different provincially or territorially accredited post‑secondary institution within the previous two years would be allowed to cumulate both educational credentials and therefore would be eligible for a three‑year post‑graduation work permit.



+1 if you think it helped. :)

i assume you read that the document referred to has expired and possibly no longer valid?

Current rules here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/students/post-grad.asp in the other considerations section/work permit issuance and validity

Means 1yr certificate/diploma + 1yr certificate/diploma (not PG Diploma) = 3 WP ??
Yes, if the level of studies for your case is a diploma and assuming you are applying after 10+2. But the thing is, though they have written on the CIC website, there is no surety that you will get a 3 year PGWP definitely! There are some cases in which students get 2 years PGWP after 1+1 or even simply a 1 year PGWP. The rest get a full 3 year PGWP. All depends on the officer issuing your PGWP after your studies. You can only play it 50-50.
The ONLY best way to secure a 3 years PGWP is to enroll into a 2 or 3 year Diploma/Advanced Diploma course and then apply for PGWP.

Yes , I understand that the document has expired, but the only official statement regarding the situation made by CIC is in the same reply by me. Rules change here every 6-12 months but the said things are valid in today's date. So let's hope for the best and that they remain unchanged at your times too. :)
