Length of PGWP for 20 months master

[williamtogi]

Hi, I will be doing MBA in Lazaridis (wilfrid Laurier) co op program.
The program 20 months long (1 year study + 8 months work term) and they said that the co op term is mandatory.

Will I be elligible for 3 years PGWP?
Any recent graduates from that university?

Thanks for your help!

Yes if the program is eligible for PGWP then you will get a 3 years PGWP as per PGWP rules for Master/PhD program.

But strangely, in my LOA it is written that the minimum completion duration of the program is 1 year, does it mean I will only get 1 year study permit?

In this case the PGWP will be equal to the length of your program of 1 year.
But as you mentioned earlier that you have a mandatory co-op of 8 months then I suggest you better get clarification from the college as I feel either you are confused regarding the length of the program or the college is not being upfront with you. IMO you should verify all information and then proceed.

Hi William, can you advise what length of PGWP you were able to obtain with the Lazaridis MBA?

I am opting for the same program and want to know if it is eligible for 3 years PGWP as well
