Thanks , I had the same doubt . I asked my college for this and they say its a mandatory co-op with 12 credits and hence it is considered as one semester so they say its a 4 semester program. since I cannot post link please visit conestoga - embedded system development ( 1st option in google).While discussing, with college staff, they said after completion of course they will provide a letter stating that I have completed my 2 years of education in the post graduate program which will fetch me a 3 year work permit.. I am confused !! HELP!
