I applied for pgwp after I finished my program. Then I contacted ircc to cancel my pgwp application because pgwp is once in a lifetime opportunity and I want to apply after I finish my next study program, but it was approved nonetheless. What should I do now?

Cancelation is only possible if they haven't started working g on application most of the time. You need to use it or lose it now.

Nothing can be done at this time. You can't cancel the application after certain point. Why do you wanna cancel anyways?
I've finished a 4 year bachelor program and I'm about to attend a 1 year program. I heard that pgwp combines the length, so I told them to cancel it. But then I read that the 2 programs has to be finished within 2 years so I told them to ignore my cancellation request.

The most you can get is 3 years for a PGWP. If you completed a 4 year bachelor program, then you should have received a 3 year PGWP. Taking another 1 year program would not have made your PGWP longer.

The max is 3 years still. And 4 year bachelor degree would have gotten you 3 year PGWP already.

But it says they have to be completed within 2 years so will I get only 1 year pgwp?

Hey, pxc
Do you know the the timeline, as in when did you apply and when you told them to cancel after submitting your initial application?

You can only cancel if your application is not yet processed. After that point, you can not cancel it.
