Hello, how are you guys? 
I have some questions, I hope you can help me out:
I'm planning to do a full-time 8-months certificate from an elegible DLI of Vancouver, BC in January 2022-August 2022, then I plan to start a full-time 16-months diploma in September 2022 in the same institution.
1- I read that you need to apply to PGWP after finishing your studies no later than 180 days, what happens when I finish my first 8-months certificate and start to study another program 1 month later? Will that clause take place for the new course? Do I need to worry about something?
2- What would be my PGWP length? I read that studying two programs get combined and if it's more than 2 years you get a 3 years PGWP, it's my case right? Just to make sure.
I also read that you need to do them within 2 years, what does it means exactly? I need to start(or finish?) my 2nd course within 2 years after I finished my first course or after I started it? Can you clarify this to me guys?
My schedule:
8 Month Full-Time Certificate from January 2022 to August 2022
16 Months Full-Time Diploma starting on September 2022
Thank you for the help, hugs!
