2 year post secondary program=16 months, do I get a 3 year post grad work permit

[kindbeans]

Hi,

Most 2 year post secondary programs actual studies are only 16 months long - does this mean I am still entitled to a 3 year post grad work permit?

Well, this member says it is 2 years.

less than eight months: you are not eligible for this program

less than two years but more than eight months: you may get a work permit for a period no longer than the length of your program of study (for example, if you studied for nine months, a work permit may be issued for a period of nine months)

two years or more:a work permit may be issued for three years
