the graduate program i'm looking into can be taken either in 1 year (full time) or 2yrs (part-time). can i apply for the part-time option and then apply for at least a year's worth of post-graduation work permit after completion? these are all in hope of qualifying for the canadian experience class using work experience.

pls helppppp....
thank you.

To apply for study permit you need to go for a full time program, part time is not eligible for Study permit

Actually you can apply for a study permit for part time. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op12-eng.pdf Section 5.10

As I said in your other post, you are not eligible for post grad work permit as the study as to be full time. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad-who.asp
