Yes. He was running two full time courses at same time and took sem part time later to complete the second program. If remain at school. No need to worry you will get your pgwp.
Keep in mind, it is important to note that it is the length of the program of study that matters, not the actual time that it takes an international student to complete the program. For example, if a student enrolls in a program of study that is eight months in duration, but completes it in six months, then the student will be able to obtain an eight-month work permit after graduating. And an international student who takes two years to complete a one-year program will only receive a one-year PGWP.

Not entirely correct. You will only get PGWP if your part time semester is the LAST semester. How did he manage to do 2 full time courses at the same time?

Just let me know what will be Work Permit Duration In this Case.

A student came to Canada in May 2017 for 1 year program. Completed first sem in August 2017. And in second sem just after 4 weeks Ontario Strike took place for 7 weeks. (After strike is over IRCC gave option either to withdraw or continue the Sem with no penality if pursue studies later on. But continued studies as college told him that there was no gurantee of his Enrollment in later semester as seats were full. ) he kept enrolled and got failed in 2 course sem ending in Jan 12 2018.
On Jan 15 2018, his another 1 year fulltime course started. He finished 1 course of previous program finished in 1st sem of Second Full time prpogram. And second course in second semester of second, 1 year program. And completing his both courses in September 2018 within 16 months. Things to note is that he maintained his full time status since he has been in Canada.

What will be duration of his PGWP ?

Firstly you are only allowed to work a maximum of 20 hiurs in term time so that was actually illegal. Secondly you can only be part time in your last semester not half way through so an application for PGWP will probably be rejected
