Yes, this is the same thing I have been saying. It may be bad for some people but atleast they are more clear on what you are elegible for.
New Rule: 2, 1 year certificates(or 1+1,8+8) will now only give 2 years PGWP?
- Thread starter Rockytheten
- Start date
I am enrolled in a two year diploma. But if i do not take any scheduled break then my program will finish in 1.5 year as there are 4 semesters in it and there are three semesters in a normal year. So what will be the length of my pgwp afterwards??
This is what CIC says about accelerated studies
Accelerated studies
If a student completes their studies in less time than the normal length of the program (that is, they have accelerated their studies), the post-graduation work permit should be assessed on the length of the program of study.
For example, if the student is enrolled in a program of study that is normally 1 year in duration, but the student completes the requirements for the program of study within 8 months, they may be eligible for a post-graduation work permit that is valid for 1 year.
That simply means i will also get 3 years work permit . ?? Or wil it be 2 years as of my programs length?

Hey guys,
I am thinking of studying at Humber for information technology solutions in January 2020. It is a 2 year ontario graduate certificate. I will study 4 semesters without a summer break and graduate by may 2021. Since I don't have a summer break and will finish 4 semesters in 1.5 years will my PGWP be 3 years or 1.5 years for 4 semesters of studying with this new rule?
Thank you

A representative told that, public funded universities or colleges are eligible to offer 2 years PGWP if I choose 1 year graduate program. And university will decide if it is 1 year or 2 years work permit after I get the offer letter from university..
I couldn't see this information at anywhere on GC website. Is it true?

This doesn't seem to be correct information. University has not role in deciding the length of the PGWP.
How about other part? GC is offering 2 years work permit for 1 year program for government colleges?
This is also not true. Work permit for 1 year program is equivalent the duration of program i.e. 1 year.
Please note this thing there is no change in rule. They clarified a 1+1 cource will give 3 years PGWP
