Hello,
Curious if the English as a second language courses can be as long as 2 years? Is the work permit valid for the same period of time ?

Thank you

No and you are not allowed to work at all when taking an ESL program.

Ineligible programs of study
Students are not eligible for the off-campus work permit program if either of the following applies:

• they are registered in a general interest program of study that does not meet the definition of an academic, professional or vocational training program as defined above (for instance, ESL/FSL courses for self-improvement)
• they are undertaking a course or program of study that is a prerequisite to their enrolment at a DLI

Thank you! Is this 8 months course going to let me apply for a work permit? https://www.senecacollege.ca/programs/fulltime/IMP.html

If it's full time - yes. If it's part time - no.

And note that if it's 8 months - then you'll get an 8 month work permit once you're done.
