Hey guys, I was registered for a 2years masters program and I completed my course within 3 semesters and a break and I was expecting a 3-yr work permit whereas I only got a 1 year permit. My friends who did the same got a 3yr work permit. Can anyone help please?
Post Graduate Work permit

How
How long was the 3 semester, was it a course of 18 months - 24 months?
Also, when does your current passport expire? They might have approved you based on your passport expiry date...
To provide you more information, if you did 1 year studies, they will give you 1 year PGWP. However, if you completed 2 years or more studies, they will give you 3 years PGWP.
In addition to that, when i first applied for PGWP, they gave me 1 year. But I completed 2 years studies which means that I am eligible for 3 years PGWP. So I renewed my passport and I re-applied for an extension with a letter of explanation and they approved me for the extra 2 years PGWP.

Oh wow...
So how long did your 3 semester take? It might be for that reason, as explained above
Well each semester was 4 months long which makes sense according to what you mentioned. But all my friends who did the same got a 3 year permit. I don't know if can do anything about it.

You tell them you did a 2 year couse in quick time, should've got a 3 year WP.
