Is Algonquin College certificate diploma valid for applying for postgraduate work permit

[doctorA]

Hello, I am an international student in Ontario and I finished diploma in May 2018 my diploma was one-year from the University of Ottawa. Now on the basis of one-year diploma, I can apply for the post-grad work permit which will be of one year and in that one year, I have to find the full-time job for a year to be eligible for CEC and PR in long run. I have started my job search but it is very challenging to find the job
Some are suggesting to get admission in another one year program and then Can I get 3 years post grad work permit? I am not sure that after another one year program will I get 3 years? I am very confused
Any suggestions and comments are welcomed?
Moreover, If I get one-year certificate program from Algonquin will I be eligible then? I am not clear on this does one-year certificate program will be counted for the visa?

Thank you in advance

"It depends."

"more than one program

• a PGWP may be valid for up to three years, for example, if you finished a diploma or degree from an eligible school in Canada, and within the next two years you get a one-year graduate degree or diploma from an eligible school in Canada."

So, to have the 2nd one-year program "count" it would have to lead to a degree or a diploma, and be designated at the post-graduate / master's level ....
