Canada - 1 or 2 years MS

[Sunita_Khary]

Hi Team,

I got admission in 2 Canadian University. One of them offer 2 years MS and other offers 1 year MS. So I am not sure, which one should I select, so I get 3 years of work permit after graduation. Please let me know, your valuable feedback.

The official website shows as, if less than 2 years, then total duration of studies will be equal to wok permit. Suppose, my study permit shows as 1 year and if I extend for 2 years, will I be eligible to 3 year work permit.

Looking forward in hearing from you.

Thanks.

2 year. 3 year PGWP will allow you the best chance to get PR. If you aren’t planning on applying for PR go for the program you like best.
