HI enfield,

a) 1 year Diploma + 1 year Degree, or

If you meet a) or b), you will get a FULL 3 year PGWP.
if this is the condition , otherwise there is another condition which is my case ...
1. graduating from ETE from NSU I cant apply for diploma ; as VO can say reject by saying overqualified.cant apply for masters cz CGPA is 2.5.I have to apply for PG diploma/certificate. But after completing PG of 1 year; what program I am suppose to take to get a 3 year work permit?
I need suggestions.
I would be glad to get reply.

dude it is very uncertain, i have three friends in canada now i am willing to go, they have been there 2-3yrs ago and now one of my friend did the same 1yr pg + 1 yr pg (dual course ) from the same college and he got 3yrs work permit, initialy he went thr for 1yr , and another friend of mine he went thr for 2yrs gbs course in humber and he got 2 yrs work permit only, that is sad..not three yrs and my other friend is studying went for 1yr course..so it completely depends on your luck as it is never confirmed that u will get 3yrs work permit ..thats why everywhere u will find it..its says u may get work permit upto 3 yrs and thats where the catch is...so i think it is better to got for 1yr study, and then get to know the place and plan accrodingly other than spending hell lot of money on tution fees....dont go with the consultant people...they lie a lottttttt.......

1. Not 'very uncertain', but more a matter of 'insufficient credit hours'.
2. Your one friend (with 1 + 1 PG Certificate = 3 year PGWP), most likely able to earn enough 'credit hours' for a 3 year PGWP (it's very rare for a certificate course to offer that much 'credit hours').
3. To be on a safer side to get a 3 year PGWP either;
:you calculate total credit hours, OR
pt for a 1 year PG certificate + 1 year Degree course (as suggested by CIC, Canada).

Dear Students,
I have meet several students in Sheridan, Seneca, Fanshawe and other colleges in Ontario during my visit and found the same. As per CIC link mentioned above; it states;
Revised program criteria
Students holding a one‑year graduate degree or diploma from a provincially or territorially accredited post‑secondary educational/training institution in Canada after having obtained, within the prior two years, a diploma or degree from an accredited post‑secondary educational/training institution in Canada may qualify for a three‑year work permit.
* It clearly states degree or diploma in both stages. So a combination of 2 one year diplomas will help you to get 3 year workpermit, providing you meeting the guidelines i.e. full time studies, accredited post-secondary institutions.

Hi,kokice said:
1. To be on the safe side; Yes.
2. You may also get a 3 year PGWP with 2 consecutive PG Cert/Diploma ONLY IF you get enough 'credit hours' to complete and meet the requirement of a 3 year PGWP (really it's very rare for a cert/diploma course to offer that much credit hours, so to be on the safe side it should be 1 year Degree + PG Cert/Diploma).
What I am going to do is to study two Post graduate certificate programs, one at centennial (the one I am doing right now), and my second post graduate at Seneca.
Some people get a 2 years work permit this way, and other ones get a 3 years work permit.
I am not sure why, but it is not official that is due to the credit hours of the program as far as I know.
