Hi,

I think 16 month course is equivalent to 16 month study permit and at max 16 month PGWP. Only if the course length is 2 years or more you will be granted a 3 year work permit.

Thanks

i was told that once your college states thats you completed a 2yr program,you are most probably going to get a 3yr PGWP.

16 months course is actually the 2 year course .

2 year course is actually divided in 4 semesters in which 1 semester = 4 months .

Some courses have schedueled breaks for 4 months and some have 2 breaks , that's why its considered as 2 years course .

Aniways your course will be considered as a 2 year cousre and you will get 3 years PGWP even if you study 4 semesters without any drop for 16 months .

Hope that helps :)

If i do a one yr Master's programme and then a one yr post graduate diploma right after, is that considered 2 years of study thus making me eligible for 3 years PGWP?

If your course of study is rellevant , you might get 3 years PGWP .

It totally depends on visaa officer though . It's not sure whether you will get a 1 year PGWP or 3 years .

I did my BBA in Marketing and now applied for Global Business Management in Humber College; so I think it's kind of relevant course, right ?

And about getting 3 years PGWP, CIC says that no longer it will be issued more than the duration of course, then how come one can get 3 years permit ? Thank You ! :eek:

Even i don't know how but still they sometimes issue a 3 years PGWP to students who took 1 year program and completed it in 2 years due to failing some courses . And sometimes student getting 2 diploma's of 1 years but in relevant fields . I have seen and experianced both of these cases . So , it totally depends on VO , if he issues a 1 year or 3 years PGWP.

Hi i have been offered to continuous 16 month trades/diploma program and its states to start in 29 Oct 2018 and ends at 28 Feb 2020 and in the program description it syas that there are short breaks in December an August. So after i complete this course will it be considered as 2 years for 3 yrs PGWP OR will it be considered as 16 month study with 16 month PGWP?
