If it is a 4 semester course i.e. 16 months and without a scheduled break then you should get a 3 years PGWP.

In Canada an academic year is made up of 3 semester i.e. fall, spring and summer with the summer semester being considered as a scheduled break(Holiday). But in certain cases/courses this summer semester is also used for holding regular classes and thus enabling the students to complete a 2 years course in 4 semester i.e. 16 months such masters program is considered by IRCC as a regular 2 years program and thus eligible for a PGWP of 3 years. I completed a 16 months masters and have secured a 3 years PGWP.

Hi friend.

Do you know if all graduate programs in Canada (in a recognize institute) are elegible to apply for a PGWP? where can I find which ones are elegible for that?

Thanks.
