2 year post-graduate certificates in Ontario?

[fabioadias]

Hello everyone.

Can anyone tell me if there are any other Post-Graduate certificates that last 2 years in Ontario other than Humber's Global Business Management?

As many of you, I'm considering going to Canada to study and then apply for a PR. I would not like to get a 2 year diploma. Since I already have a Bachelors degree I thought about applying for a Post-Graduate course. I've only seen 1 year courses and I recently found about Humber's 2 year certificate which is the only one I've come across so far.

Does anybody know of another course in the Business Management area that is a post-grad and not only is 2 years long but also costs around 25k?

I also have another question...
If I take TWO 1 year Post-Graduate Certificates one after the other, would I be able to get 2 years of work permit? I mean, would these years add up? Having two postgraduate certificates could count as two years of work permit than could I apply under the Canadian Experience Class?

I hope someone can answer my questions. Thanks a lot!

I'm sorry. I didn't get what you just said...

I didn't get accepted anywhere and I don't know what you mean by ty.bcom.

Hi,

1. Yes, you will be eligible for 2 year PGWP.
2. One year (or 1 + 1) PG certificate/Diploma are NOT eligible for CEC. As an international graduate, you need ONLY 1 year of work experience to apply under CEC.

Thanks you, Enfield.

So lets say I apply for two different certificates and I end up studying for 2 years, full-time. If I work for those two years after my studies would I then be able to apply under CEC?

Hi,

1. No.
2. It must be either; a straight 2 year UG/PG Degree/Diploma/Certificate OR 1 year Master DEGREE + 1 year of UG/PG Degree/Diploma/Certificate.

 

[fabioadias]

Thank you. That's exactly what I needed to know.

Does anyone know what other good colleges offer PostGrad 2 year courses?

As far as I know, you do not find too many 2-year postgraduate diploma/certificates in Canada. Either you opt for one year PgD/PGC or a Masters program. For PgD/PGC, you may not find too many options outside Ontario either.

If you are looking for September intake, for Masters, most of the university deadline are around March/April. So make sure you start visiting university websites and start preparing to send them documents.

Y

Hi,
Pardon my enthusiasm but I want to know what's the source of your information.

I read about CEC on the cic website and all I can find was this.
(You need to meet these requirements to apply under the Canadian Experience Class. You must:

plan to live outside the province of Quebec
have at least 12 months of full-time (or an equal amount in part-time) skilled work experience in Canada in the three years before you apply,
have gained your experience in Canada with the proper authorization
meet the required language levels needed for your job for each language ability (speaking, reading, writing, and listening).)

Can you let me know the source where I can read all these information.
Thanks. Appreciate the good work!

1. You are correct.

Note: You have quoted a 1 year old post, at that time the quoted rules were applicable.

@ fabioadias - why dont u go for a 2 year Masters program instead of two PG certificates ??

I mean what is the benefit of PG certificates over Masters ??

Thanks Enfield for the good job you are doing here. May God bless you abundantly.

My question is also on CEC, I am coming for post graduate Cert in Ontario,Thou i applied for a similar course in Memoral University(Msc) If i am given the admission in Memorials then i have rest of mind but if not, after my one year PGWP(If i do a one whole year Full time Job) i intend to apply for CEC, am i eligible?

Thanks for your candid advise

I believe it is a quite cheaper than Master program and it lasts only 8 months, after that you are able to enter workforce immediately.
Than you have to gather 1 year of work experience to apply under CEC. But then problem comes, if your employer don't want to provide your work permit extension, through LMO, your PGWP expires and you have to leave Canada.
Nevertheless, you can apply under CEC outside of Canada for PR, but approval for PR takes over 12 months.
So, this is the main risk, that you will maybe have to get back home, which will cause additional expenses etc.

Am I correct about this!?

Thanks belex, what is LMO i have had people talk about that on this forum.
