I am planning to do 2 one year back to back PG courses in Canada.
Will I still be able to apply for 3 years work permit or not?

is it for sure that if I go for 2 different course but both are PG courses. Would I be able to get 2 years work permit?aman singh said:No,
you will get 2 year PGWP.
aman singh said:If the official length of your program of study is:
less than eight months
you are not eligible for this program
less than two years but more than eight months
you may get a work permit for a period no longer than the length of your program of study (for example, if you studied for nine months, a work permit may be issued for a period of nine months)
two years or more
a work permit may be issued for three years
You program is of 1 year length x 2 . So you will get 2 year work permit. I'm sure about it.
It is better to take program of 2 academic year [16 months], And you will get 3 year PGWP.
only on one condition you will get 3 yr PGWP if your both back to back PG course of having 1 Year each (3 semester) not of 2 Semesters, because according to Canadian standard , full time 1 year study consist of 3 semester.rituritz said:I am planning to do 2 one year back to back PG courses in Canada.

This is not true. Regular (certificate, diploma, bachelor degree, post-bacc) full time is 15+ (depends on university) hours per week of studies.because according to Canadian standard , full time 1 year study consist of 3 semester.
I came in JANUARY 2014 and took MASTERS IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS SECURITY MANAGEMENT in Concordia University College of Alberta and my STUDY PERMIT is valid till April 2016 , now i have taken 12 courses and got 36 CREDITS. but there is an issue with research work so i am planning to take diploma instead of MASTERS that is an 18 credits course(out of 36) which will end in December 2014gkb8062 said:only on one condition you will get 3 yr PGWP if your both back to back PG course of having 1 Year each (3 semester) not of 2 Semesters, because according to Canadian standard , full time 1 year study consist of 3 semester.
so 1 yr (3 semester ) + 1 yr (3 semester) will give you 3 yr PGWP.
but for instance if any of the course among back to back is 1 yr (2 semester) 90% chances are you will not get 3 yr PGWP.
rest depends on VO.
tc..
there is no difference between 2 Year Masters and 2 Years diploma course.. suppose someone has done 2 years Masters he/she will not gonna get special treat when comes to PGWP..
lots of factors to considered when issuing PGWP like.
1. Total credits earned in course,, does not matter its Masters/ 2 Year Diploma
2. total contact hours the applicants gained.. (VO will check this with official Transcripts provided by the college)
3. your final grades and attendance credentials
i am telling you all these from Canadian education standard point of view.
if you are interested for 2 one year back to back diplomas// certificate programs , cross check the following:
1. total no. of Semester in single year, if its 3 semester then no problem.
2. total Diploma/ certificate credits.
3. contact hours per week.

Hello, Can you tell me how to apply for 2 back to back 1 year PG programme? I have a dilemma that if firstly I do apply for 1 year PG programme and if I got selected then before completing the 1-year programme can I apply for another PG programme so that I can combine both the programme and apply for up to 3-years PGWP?Many colleges offer one year PG courses. And you get a 3-year work permit if you do 2 back to back one-year programs. You can contact and confirm it with the universities/colleges you are interested in.
