hi,
i am here a student taking education for associate degree of science , i have a question whether associate degree counts under post secondary education? my associate degree program is for 2 years. and what about working after graduation am i eligible for 3 or 1 year work permit after associate degree.

"Post-secondary" means "after high school," so, yes, an associate degree would count as post-secondary. If your program meets the other requirements, it would count toward the education requirement for the CEC program. You would probably be eligible for a 3 year PGWP.

Correct, if your associate degree is at at a college or university, it is considered post-secondary education. You may also want to investigate getting your educational equivalency credentials underway.
