Hello
I'm a bit confused about how the PGWP is given. Most colleges state the length of their programs by academic years which is not the same as calendar years, for example when they say the duration of a program is 1 academic year, they also state the length is actually only 8 calendar months , how long the PGWP will be, 1 year or 8 months?
In the official immigration website they state this:
"If your program was more than 8 months but less than 2 years, We may give you a PGWP that’s valid for up to the same length as your study program. For example, if you completed a 9-month program, we may give you a work permit for up to 9 months."
"If your program was 2 years or more, We may give you a PGWP that’s valid for 3 years"
It means I need to find a program with a duration of 2 calendar years to obtain 3 years of PGWP, or 2 academic years to obtain 3 years of PGWP?
I hope someone can help, thank you
