Do 1 year-PGDM course with Co-Op gives 1.5 yrs of stay back ?

[SanjayMystic]

Hi,

I got selected for 1 year PGDM course but it has 2 semesters and doesn't offer Co-Op.

Will selecting course with Co-Op ( 3 semesters) giver PGWP of 1.5 yrs ??

No. Co-op is included in 1 year in many Canadian colleges.

Yes a three semester course will qualify you for a 1.5 years PGWP subject to meeting certain conditions.

So....it is better to take program with Co-Op and doing an extra semester( I hope we can do one semester from colleges) can give upto 3 years of PGWP right ?

Yes a co op also helps you get the much needed Canadian experience.

I have some questions. I am taking an 8 months + 4 months co-op program. My graduation letter, it mentions a 1-year full-time program. How can I work around this? Any ideas?

Was the 4 months mandatory to complete the program?

Yes it is mandatory as per my offer letter. But however, some student can just back-out if they dont find a co-op. They will thus graduate without co-op. But in my case, I found a co-op. In my offer letter initially provided when I was still in my home country mentions, it is mentioned XXX+co-op term. It fails to say 3 academic term but it say starts Sept 2022-Oct 2023 and program duration of 1 yr.

So you are in a one year program with 2 semesters. If people are graduating without co-op then it cannot be mandatory.

That is because they officially withdraw to the non-coop version of the program since they are unable to find co-op. But my offer letter says a co-op is included as part of my program. It is confusing and playing around with words that is why I am looking for someone who has been through this before.
