Will 1 yr post grad certificate program guarantee that I get a 1yr PGWP?

[jwtaylor]

Hi guys,

I am considering a 1 year post graduate certificate program at Humber college...the length is 2 semesters and 1 month coop. Will i be guaranteed a 1 yr PGWp afterwards?

Anyone with this experience please share?

The maximum PGWP you will get is 1 year, it might be less to, depending on situations.

Hi Snake thanks for responding......can you tell what situations? like an example please...

Not aware of an example right now, i've just seen it here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad.asp

so yeah, the permit won't exceed your study length.

Good luck.

Can some one with real PGWP experience please respond to this - Will 1 yr post grad certificate program guarantee that I get a 1yr PGWP? (considering 1 year course means 2 semesters only i.e. 8 months)

Thanks,
Rajat

Others with same experience - studied 1 year course (2 sem/8 months) and received 1 year PGWP - please share your first hand experience.

Thanks,

8 months or 12 months studies will result in 1 year PGWP.
