PGWP Duration if Master Complete in 01 year

[khokhar152]

Hello,

I have course based masters program in Canada wherein I have the option to complete it 01 year by taking full time courses or to complete in 02 years by taking average courses. Overall it is 02 year program anyhow, my question is that if I complete it in 01 year, pgwp will be for 01 year or 02 years?

It would be equal to your program duration and it shall be determined from Letter Confirming completion of the program of study and Transcripts from DLI. Canada immigration states

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.

Good Luck
