From the CIC website:
"You must have studied full time in Canada and you must have completed a program of study that lasted at least eight months.
In addition, you must have graduated from:

-a public post-secondary institution, such as a college, trade/technical school, university or CEGEP (in Quebec), or

-a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as public institutions, or

-a private secondary or post-secondary institution (in Quebec) offering qualifying programs of 900 hours or longer leading to a diplôme d’études professionnelles (DEP) or an attestation de spécialisation professionnelle (ASP), or

-a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees but only if you are enrolled in one of the programs of study leading to a degree as authorized by the province and not in all programs of study offered by the private institution."

So if the school falls into those category, you can get a PGWP

Thank you for your help.
depends if a public or private college. And PGWP is never guaranteed.

I guess this is instead of the hair design course you asked about given end of day should be about the course not just whether a PGWP is possible. After all still have to graduate after 3 years to even get a PGWP so is a big investment in time and money.

It's a huge investment of time and money and you should really choose something you would want to study regardless of PGWP. The best would be to contact the university directly. Surely they have had such inquiries before and would know best to answer your question.

It's a private school. You won't get a PGWP.

Hi J5M,

As my understanding, you can get a PGWP if the private college offer a degree, is it correct?

Thank you for you reply

Those are not private colleges. They're public.

How can we know which college is private or public?

Thank you for your help
All well known colleges like Humber, George Brown, Seneca are public. You can know if a college is private or public by simply googling the college's name and reading the wikipedia page on it.

The key is that a private post-secondary institution operates under the same rules and regulations as public institutions, which is true for some colleges and universities, but not all of them. The best is to email and ask directly.

Thanks a lot for your advise. We should send the email directly to ask College or CIC and ask about the PGWP after graduating, please advise.

Ask the college. I was interested in acupuncture program at Pacific Rim College, and they promptly said that their students cannot get a PGWP or bring a spouse on open work permit because they are a private college not operating under the same rules - which broke the deal for me.

Hey buddy, Check MacEwan University, Its a public university and I think they have a 3 years diploma course in Acupuncture, so you will be eligible to apply for study permit.

Cheers !!
