Good day pals,

I just gained admission into Mohawk college for a year graduate certificate program (2 semesters). From my understanding on how the Canadian system operates, I'd be entitled to a year work permit after the completion of this program, hence, my question.

Before the expiration of my work permit (supposing i'm already working), can I renew the work permit so as to continue working, and if yes, how many years minimum & maximum will I be given?

Secondly, can I apply for another program after exhausting the work permit given, so as to obtain 3 years work permit?

Lastly, I hold a masters degree from the United Kingdom and a couple of years of experience, can I put in for a part time MBA while i'm still on my work permit, to enable me work and also study?

Thanks

If you want to continue working your employer will need to obtain an LMIA and then you'll need to apply for a new work permit.

No - you can't. You can only obtain a PGWP once.

You'll need to apply for a study permit if you want to study a Master's. This will cancel your work permit.
