Depends on the length of your current Certificate programs and Institution (Public or accredited Private).

"A post-graduation work permit cannot be valid for longer than the student’s study program, and the study program must be a minimum of eight months in length. For example, if you graduate from a four-year degree program, you could be eligible for a three-year work permit if you meet the criteria. If you graduate from an eight-month certificate program, you would be eligible for a work permit that is valid for no more than eight months."

if both your courses are of 8 months or more , that means you are doing 16 months of study in total. You are eligible for 3 year PGWP
