Hi, I hold a post-graduation work permit (PGWP), recently I want to attend a 25-week length study program, which is within 6 months.
According to IRCC, you can use any permit for a program within 6 months, I would put the link below. I also have called IRCC to confirm that.

The only problem is, the program contains 2 parts, and there is a 2 weeks break in between, if that is counted it would make the program longer than 6 months.
I talked with the institute, and they said the break is not counted in the program length, it should still be 25 weeks. However as I spoke to an IRCC agent by phone,
she could not confirm if the break is excluded or not, she could only confirm what I mentioned above.
Does anybody know about this? Thanks for your reply!

I called IRCC and they said the 5 extra weeks of training were not counted into the program length. But now that I graduated I am confused and I hink I might violated my PGWP.
