Hi All,

I am planning to pursue Data Analytics course in Seneca from September 2021. https://www.senecacollege.ca/programs/fulltime/BAN.html
On their website it says 1 year course, however on the offer letter, the length of the course is from 7th September 2021 to 22 April 2021, which is neither 900 hours or 8 months course. As per the CIC in order to be eligible for PGWP a course should be 8 months or a 900 hours long course. So, Before proceeding with the admission I am just wondering if I will be eligible to get PGWP.

Thanks

Data analytics or Quantum Mechanics it's irrelevant what it is since Seneca is running on online delivery which ineligible for PGWP. If it's in person then it's eligible.

Probably 8 months. 2 semesters = 8 months

You can complete up to 50% of your program online (until April 30, 2021). You must complete the other 50% of your program in Canada.

Anything learnt online beyond April doesn't qualify for PGWP.

`You won’t have time deducted from the length of your PGWP for studies you complete outside Canada until April 30, 2021.` From the link I shared.
The 50% study rules apply for people who started their study from May 2020 to September 2020.
The course I am pursuing will start in Sept 2021 and ends on 22nd April 2021.
The rules are clearly mentioned.

@Sam940 As per my research, Yes, this is eligible for PGWP. However I am not sure the length of the PGWP. Better if you confirm again from your side
