Thank you, obviously I read that page already, but the length of the course is 2 years, however if I finish the course in 17 months, I do not know which kind of PGWP I will get.
Anyone know that?
Any related experience about that?
They look at credits, months of study?

Please read the points that specifically answers your question in the link I provided earlier. Let me quote it down:

Does the length of study in Canada impact on the length of the work permit?
Yes. The work permit cannot be valid longer than the official length of your program of study in Canada. For example, students graduating from a four-year degree program might be eligible for a three year work permit. Students graduating from an eight-month certificate program would only be eligible for a work permit of eight months.

. If you studied for less than eight months
- you are not eligible for this program.
. If you studied less than two years but more than eight months
- you may get a work permit for a period no longer than the length of time you studied (for example, if you studied for nine months, a work permit
may be issued for a period of nine months).
. If you studied for two years or more
- a work permit may be issued for three years.

So you can get a work permit of about 1.5 years as per the website. I got the PGWP of 3 years as my program was of 2 years. They only look at the duration of the full-time studies.

I know people who study a 2 year program without breaks(17 months) so they got 3 years, thats why I am asking, some tell that officers look at credits an some tell that they look at length... I do not know.

My suggestion is that always confirm everything using the information available on the CIC website. That should be your ONLY authentic source of information.
