Completing a 10 month program in 2 years? PGWV

[Gia99]

Hi everyone, I’m really interested in a program and it’s 10 months but there is the option to finish in in 2 years, says so on the website. My question is if I were to finish it in 2 years can I qualify for a 3 year post grad work visa? Or because it can be finished in 10 months do I qualify for a 10 month work visa only?

It is based on length of program not how long it takes you to do it. If it is 10 months then length is 10 months or a year.

Thank you for answering, so even though it can be completed in 2 yrs its not possible, if that’s the case can a post grad visa be extended or can I apply for permanent residence? Or would it be feasible to just do a 2 yr masters..

Do a 2 year Masters if you want a 2-3 PGWP. If you are completing a 10 month program in 2 years then it must be part-time. Most programs will say can be completed in a few years if not full time.
