Question about education history when applying for OINP nomination

Hey all. I need some advice, might be a silly question.

I'm applying for OINP. I have a master's degree from a university in the US, and it was 4 semesters long (26th August 2019 to 9th May 2021).
Under education history, while filling up the application, it says whether the program is at least 2 years in duration. Technically 4 semesters is not 2 years and dates are not 2 years apart, but it was 2-year program.

The ECA confirms that it's a master's degree but doesn't say anything about the duration of the program.

What do I do here? Thank you so much for your help!


For reference:

As you said it lasted 2 years, so I believe it would be yes.

Thank you. My confusion was because it said "2 years in duration" and not 2 academic years. So I was wondering if it's like 2 calendar years and not 2 academic years. Thanks for clarifying.
