Re: 8 month Course @ Centennial College, then 1 yr WORK, is it ok for PR?

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/apply-who.asp

i hv done B com and Masters Diploma (Symbiosis, distance mode)

further queries-
1. that study at Canada, shud be a PG or Post Secondary course?

2. can i do one year (2 sem.) course from Centennial and then the second 1 year course from any other college?
in other words, 2 different courses (of 1 yr duration) from same or 2 different colleges?

pls view this page http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/graduates.asp

3. all PG courses r of 8 mth (2 sem) duration, is that counted as 1 yr course, what does it mean actually?

4. i believe this 2 year study (from 2 separate colleges) will grant me a 3 year work permit also, am i rit?

5. that "2 year study" shud be a 1 single course of 2 year duration or done in the manner mentioned above?

thx.

It can be either, but post-graduate study can only come after an undergraduate program (not before)

2. can i do one year (2 sem.) course from Centennial and then the second 1 year course from any other college?

You can do 2 programs, but they must BOTH then lead to a credential - see p. 26, scenario 3:

3. all PG courses r of 8 mth (2 sem) duration, is that counted as 1 yr course, what does it mean actually?

An "academic year" is not the same as a "calendar year." One academic year is usually 2 semesters, with 8 months of full-time study.


4. i believe this 2 year study (from 2 separate colleges) will grant me a 3 year work permit also, am i rit?

Not clear about that.
