Hi Folks

I have got admission in university of Windsor Meng Civil. The course has options of 12 (3 semester) or 16 (4 semester) completion , I am confused I will be getting 16 moths work permit or 3 years work permit. As per PGWP , if course length is less than 2 years the PGWP will be issued based on course length

Thanks

I can tell you personally. I also studied for around 16 months and got 3 years work permit back in 2012. But please make sure you select a 4 semester course. Most of the people I know who graduated from 4 semester long Diploma programs got PGWP for 3 years. Your academic years matter, not the actual years themselves. You don't need to study for 24 months in order to get a 3 years PGWP. What you do need to do is study for 4 semesters. This was the case back in 2012 and also for some people I know who applied in 2013. I don't think it has changed much.

This is true it is the academic years that matter my apologies for answering based on the OP as 12 or16 months. Just ensure that any documentation you have either the acceptance or at graduation shows that the course is the equivelant of a 2 year course in academic terms to be able to qualify for the full 3 year PGWP..

Hello! If you want to get a three years work permit, you need at least two academic years of study. But since you're doing a masters program in Ontario, you can also apply for PR right after the completion of your studies under the OINP human capital stream.

Hello
I completed 1 year program without any break or drop in sheridan college
Right now i am in private college and will finish by December 2017 but my this college is not valid for post graduation work permit so to get 3 year work permit i have to take 1 year or 2 year course in public college ?
Cic operation bulletin they mentioned if u obtained one year degree diploma ot certificate after having obtained within next 2 year if u obtained another degree diploma or certificate than wp would be upto 3 years
If i will take 1 year program in public college can i combine with sheridan college program
