Hello. I'm planning to study in Canada right now.
I know that I need 2 years of study and 1 year of work. The problem is I can't find anything good courses for two years. However I found two 1 year certificate courses (8 months each, none-masters) that I am interested in. They are both from "publicly funded insitutions" BCIT and Kwantlen.
So I want to take them both from Sept 2012 to Sept 2014. Mid way I will re apply for a student visa to get into the new course.
Kwantlen 2012-2013 - Certificate in Foundation Design
BCIT 2013-2014 - Certificate in Digital Animation
I'm a bit confused from what is stated, in the CIC website:
"Anyone accepted as a permanent resident under the Canadian Experience Class (based on their studies) has to have studied in Canada for at least two years.
Normally, this means you graduated with a Canadian post-secondary credential that requires at least two academic years of study, but there is one exception.
If you completed a one-year master’s (certificates and diplomas do not count with this exception), you would be eligible if you earned it after completing another program of at least one academic year in Canada. Both credentials must be obtained from a post-secondary institution recognized by the province. Each program must be completed within two years of each other."
Would CIC allow me to apply for CEC for if studied two different certficate course in a span of 2 years?

Sorry, two one-year certificates will not be accepted.
