Revised program criteria

Students holding a one-year graduate degree, diploma or certificate from a participating institution in Canada after having obtained, within the prior two years, a certificate, a diploma or degree from a participating institution in Canada may qualify for a three-year work permit. This exception also applies to students who have left Canada temporarily between programs of study.

Note: Participating institutions include the following: Canadian university, community college, CEGEP, publicly funded trade/technical school, or a private institution authorized by provincial/territorial statue to confer degrees (but only if the applicant received the credential in a program of study leading to a degree as authorized by the province and not in all programs of study offered by the private institution).

Example 1: A student who obtained a one‑year MBA from a provincially or territorially accredited post-secondary institution in Canada after having obtained a one-year diploma, no more than two years before obtaining the MBA, would be allowed to cumulate both degrees and therefore would be eligible for a three-year post-graduation work permit.

Example 2: A student who obtained a one-year diploma or certificate from a participating institution in Canada after having obtained a degree in Canada at the same or in a different participating institution within the previous two years would be allowed to cumulate both educational credentials and therefore would be eligible for a three-year post-graduation work permit.

Example 3: A student attends a foreign post-secondary institution and transfers to a participating institution in Canada in order to complete their studies. Under this scenario, if the qualifying educational credential is issued at an institution outside of Canada, they would not qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit. However, if they did receive their educational credential from a participating Canadian institution, they may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit only for the length of time they studied in Canada.

Example 4: A student attends their first year at a private post-secondary educational institution in Canada not eligible under this program but then transfers to a participating post-secondary institution. Under this scenario they may be eligible for a post-graduation work permit program but only for the length of time they studied at the participating post-secondary institution.

Hi, buddy, that's the link I gave to you.....This is combined programs, not like mine, one program but few institutions. I'm still working on my issue, it's just got no answer, college officers told me it is the first time they met the problem like mine since a lot of students are moving between institutions.

I am in same situation here, but little bit different.
I finished 2 years diploma program (Actual length is 16months according to school website), my actual length of study is 22 months. My PGWP is only 14 months. But I found that the program is considered as 2 year diploma program according to Government website and 2 more governme nt related website. (Even it is indicated so in my school guide book for candidates) I went to international student office, they said I can re-apply with explanation letter, and they promised me they will give me a letter from school. However, chances are 50/50. I will try again, but one lawyer said you better ask CIC first what is the reason for that. I don't know whether CIC agent would explain it to me or not. All my friends got 3 years PGWP, I feel so frustrated.

Did anyone re-apply and get up to 3 years?
Please help!!
You were from which college and did which course?
