yeah PGWP not only depends on the yrs you spent for study also the credit hrs. of the course.
;)
If the official length of the course is 2 years then you are eligible for PGWP of 3 years.

Quote:
"If the official length of your program of study is:

  • less than eight months
you are not eligible for this program

  • less than two years but more than eight months
you may get a work permit for a period no longer than the length of your program of study (for example, if you studied for nine
months, a work permit may be issued for a period of nine months)

  • two years or more
a work permit may be issued for three years"

If you study one year's course in 2 years then in this case you will not be getting PGWP of 3 years for sure. But if you are studying 2 years course(officially 2 years) then you will be getting PGWP of 3 years.

The word 'official length of the course' take care for your credit hours. An MBA student requires to complete around 50 credit hours in order to complete 2 years degree while a master in engineering student study only around 30 credit hours for his 2 years degree. Would this mean that MEng students won't get 3 years PGWP? No, they will and they are getting PGWP of 3 years.
