Duration of expected study (IMM1294) - January intake (16 months continuously)

[Determinanta]

Hello everyone!

I am filling my IMM1294 form and am a bit confused about the dates.
I was accepted into a College Program that is supposed to start in January 2015 and last for 16 months continuously, until the April 2016.

My Letter of Acceptance from Sheridan College says:
Duration: Ontario College Diploma (2 Years)
Orientation Start Date: January 2, 2015
Term Start Date: January 12, 2015
Expected Graduation Date: April 2016

In the Form it says Duration of expected study with start and end dates.

Should I type the Orientation or the Term Start Date?
What would then be the end date: the April 30, 2016 or January 2017 (since it is a 2 Years College Diploma Program)?

I hope you understand the confusion. Please let m know if you have experience with this or know what the correct answer is.

Orientation start date will be the start date for your studies in Canada.

Orientation start date will be the start date for your studies in Canada.

Thank you, I also thought so.

Would you maybe know what should I write in the "end date of studies" field? Is is a 2 years program, but I am expected to graduate in April 2016 (that is what the Letter of Acceptance says). Should I maybe write April 30, 2016?

One more thing confuses me. Is that when my Student Visa is going to expire, or will I have time to stay in Canada on Student Visa while I apply and wait for my PGWP?

Hi,

Write April 2016.

Hey, as far as I've seen in the form, I have to specify the date.

I believe I will go with Orientation Start Date and April 30 (last day of April) as end date.

Thank you all, best regards!
