I would be grateful if anybody can help for the following questions.

1. While having a Canadian Masters (18 months) degree in Canada and 1 Year work Experience what is the required/eligible IELTS General points needed for each band?
I mean in each band 6 is enough to get selected through current FWS / CEC program or still it is a mandatory to get 7,7,7,8- R,W,S,L score?

2. Also, how long period of study of master should be conducted in order to get 3 years post study work permit? (18 months or 24 months masters degree?)

1. Minimum requirements for CEC is CLB 7 i.e. 6,6,6,6 https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/language-requirements.html

2. For Masters between 16 to 23 months completion, officer can issue the PGWP for validity of 3 years. Quote from Reference below - "Note: Officers may issue 3‑year post-graduation work permits to individuals who complete a master’s or doctoral degree in Canada when the eligible DLI has confirmed in the written confirmation of program completion that the degree is 16 to 23 months in length, and does not include regularly scheduled breaks."
