Hi all,

I was wondering, if I apply for a 1 year graduate program, how can I be eligible to extend my stay for up to three years with a PGWP. In the CIC website, it is said that usually the PGWP length depends on the duration of one's program; however, is there a way to avoid receiving one less than 3 years?

To get 3 year PGWP you need to study 2 years or more, no other way.

As of the new rules in March 2019, is it possible to get 3 year work permit for 2 year course(16 months actual study,4 consecutive semesters) , I have heard that only 16 month work permit will be issued due to the change in new rules, whereas previous applicants got 3 year permit

First of all, thank you for the reply, I too believed it is possible to get 3 year permit, but I can't help to notice the note that was written below it

If the officer notes that the duration of studies was shorter than the duration of the program, as indicated in the letter confirming the completion of the program of study, and the program was not completed in an accelerated form, the post‑graduation work permit may be issued in accordance with the duration of studies. For example, if the applicant undertook classes for a period of 12 months, not in an accelerated form, but their degree notes that it is a 2‑year degree, the post-graduation work permit may be issued for 12 months, in accordance with the duration of their studies.

The above paragraph which was written in the cic website is really confusing, it's kinda states that 2 year course with 16 month actual study will given only 16 month permit, which means almost all the people who apply to diploma will get 16 month permit only, I would be very happy if you could enlighten me about this

This is my take on it. You are eligible for a 3 year PGWP if your letter says that you have completed a 2 year program. Anything more than 12 months is considered as 2 year program. Clearly 16 months makes it a 2 year program unless you have accelerated it to 12 months. As per me, You should get 3 year PGWP, No doubts in that.
