3-year PGWP eligibility.

[vivekkumary]

Hi all, I got accepted for a full-time 2-year diploma course in Conestoga College for Jan 2024 intake. As stated in the acceptance letter the 4 semesters will be consecutive and there will not be any breaks.
The course will end in 16 months (Jan 2024 to Apr 2025) before 2 full years. Will I still be eligible for 3 years PGWP or just 16 months?

This snippet is from the acceptance letter.

Program Status: Full-Time
Program of Study: Applied Network Infrastructure and System Administration (1424)
Credential: Ontario College Graduate Certificate (Post-Graduate)
Campus: Kitchener – Doon Campus
Program Length: 4 Semester(s) (Consecutive)
Level of Study: Level 1
First Day of Classes: January 08, 2024
Estimated End Date: April 20, 2025
Hours of Instruction: 24 (estimated)
Exchange Program: No

Thanks,
Vivek.

I did a 16-month Masters' Program (Not conestoga). 4 consecutive semesters. IRCC will consider that as a 2 year program. I got 3 years PGWP.

Should be 3. Every 2 semesters is considered a year of schooling when in a full-time course and apply to PGWP as such.
