Duration of PGWP; 1yr Ontario grad certificate in Conestoga+8mnths OGC same clg

[Ravi Chandra]

Hi,

Can anyone please clarify me, i'm planning for 1 year(12 months with Coop) Ontario graduate certificate in Computer App development course and after that 8 months Ontario graduate certificate in IT Business Analysis course in same collage, Conestoga.
Total 12+8 = 20 months

The credits of Computer App development are: 60*
The credits of IT Business Analysis are: 72*

*I calculated credits based on the credits of the program as mentioned in the website.

most probably it will give u a 20+ months pgwp.
but if ur lucky ,you may get 3years work permit,again the chances are mere.
i dont know how pgwp works with this credits.
even the low credit 2 years BA programs in selkrik and al make u eligible for 3 years pgwp.
i got this information by googling & again googling
but my agent told me that u will definitely get 3 years pgwp after 8 + 1 year certifacte course.
experience members feel free to correct this.i also want some accurate answer for this

8 months of study = 1 academic year = 1 year work permit.
16 months of study or more = 2 academic year or more = 3 years work permit.

I'm hoping to collate these two 1 yr Ontario graduate certificate programs for a longer PGWP (for 3yrs), don't know if it is possible or not.

You need 6 semesters/24 months of education to get a 3 year PGWP
