I was enrolled in a 2 year diploma program in Ontario. But then I opted for Co-op as well, so the program extended to be of 2 year and 8 months. Till date i have completed 2 semesters and 2 Co-op terms, and after that changed my program to one year program.

So current situation is that i have completed one year diploma program and two Co-op terms which are not relevant to one year diploma.
I have already completed nearly more than 70 credit hours. Now I will get diploma certificate that will say that i have completed one year program. But in reality i have continuously been in college for 20 months now with more than 70 credit hours.

So my question is will i get one year PGWP based on completion of only one year diploma program or will i get 2 or more year PGWP based on duration for which I was in college and number of credit hours that i have

Thanks

Length of the diploma program is what will be used for the PGWP.

Any time spent studying or completing co-ops for programs you didn't finish aren't counted.
