Length of PGWP

[Motion]

Hello dear users,

I am considering studying a Diploma program in an Ontario college this September.
Its website states "This 2 years Diploma program is delivered in a compressed format over 45 weeks (3 consecutive semesters)"

I intend to apply for the PGWP after graduating and eventually get a PR. Can someone please tell me how long PGWP will I obtain for the above program.

I would have considered a different program lasting 2 full years but I may not have enough fund for an additional year for the cost of living etc.

Please kindly advice.
Thanks a lot.

Make sure you pick a college that is on the list.

I've checked the list, does it mean I'll get only 45 weeks of PGWP then? Also the college is definitely on the list.

Usually if you apply for two years program but finish it in 1,5 CIC issues 3 year PGWP.
But in your case the university tells that the program is only 45 weeks. So I am not sure what CIC will do in that case.

I have the same issue, with the diploma program that lasts 3 semesters, which is 3x15 (45) weeks - one academic year
According to CIC online info, I would get a 45 week PG work permit. Since it is almost a year, do they issue PGWP for a one year, or stated period of weeks?
This makes a huge difference later when applying for PR, as a FULL year of work experience is required to get the points.

If anyone has gained related experience, any info would be appreciated
tnx

Apart from fact you opened up a 4 year old thread the length of your PGWP will depend on what your college states in your completion/ graduation letter that you need for your application, if they say it was a one year course you should get a one year PGWP. If they say was a 45 week or 11 month course then is possible, no way to predict , you would get a matching period as per the guidelines.

Have you discussed with college how they will state the timeline for this course or even what does it say on the college website ?
