I just realized by looking at their calendar that Seneca college's 1 year postgraduate certificate only run for 7 months (for example jan 12th to august 27th). Does this mean that if I study there I'm not eligible for PGWP? How do they calculate the months for PGWP?
Did anyone here get PGWP by studying there or in a similar program?

As per this page --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad-who.asp I believe you need to do a minimum of 8 months in order to qualify for PGWP.

My postgrad certificate was Jan-Aug in class and then Sept-Dec in co-op, but because the co-op counted as an academic term (needed to complete papers, got a grade at the end etc) this counted as a full year program. It might be worth looking to see if you can find something similar in your field?

It is not about months of studies but a letter that universities give with Course Credit information. It that letter that matters.
