Hi there, Can I take 2 post-graduate certificates (8 months each) from the same school and still get a 3-year work permit? The wording on CIC website was quite confusing so I'm not sure if it's still possible. Thank you

It is possible but not guaranteed.
 
Where does it say that?
In the table, last category:

The student completed more than one program from an eligible DLI within 2 years.
Note: Each program of study must meet all PGWPP eligibility requirements and be at least 8 months in length.

=>>
The length of the work permit should combine the length of each program.
If the combined length of the programs is 2 years or longer (or 1,800 hours or longer for a combination of a DVS with an AVS in Quebec), the work permit may be valid for up to 3 years (provided that the DVS program in Quebec is at least 900 hours in length).

Right, but says “may.”
