I don't know who to believe anymore as they have a pretty good advertising on their website and i've been attending on zoom events of the school and it sounds promising.

Thanks for the informative video Rachel!

Perhaps 6 months to 8 months?

[@rrdancel]

Ohh the thing with programs less than 1 year is you won’t get to fully utilize the PGWP, if working in Canada is something you’re looking to do afterwards. And to be eligible for a study permit, your program must be no less than 8 months to qualify 🤗 just keep this in mind!

Hi Rachel. I’m planning on applying for a bundle offer at Seneca but the programs are 8 months each. It will be 16 months of study. Will I still be eligible for the 3 year PGWP?

[@rrdancel]

What’s the bundle program? I know Seneca offers some to be eligible for the 3-year PGWP but im not entirely sure. It should be stated on their website - they would have a small line there that says the length of your PGWP! 😊

[@diandralawrence1621]

@@rrdancel The courses are Social Media and Brand Management. I couldn’t find anything about the PGWP on the course pages. Also Brand Management has an optional work term too. I’m wondering whether it will be more than 8 months with the work term and whether that will contribute to the PGWP length.

Hi @diandra were you able to find answers to these questions? I have same questions now and I need answers, please share if you have answers

Will 16 months masters program be sufficient if I have long term plans in Canada like applying for PR? Thanks Rach. ❤️

[@rrdancel]

Hi dear! It really depends on the visa officer reviewing your file. I’ve heard some that got 16-month program issued a 16-month PGWP, and some getting a 3-year PGWP 😅 To be on the day side, I’d get a masters program where the LOA says 2-year master’s program.

[@smwk2017]

Make sure you check with your school. Some universities only allow 12 credits per semester for Master degree.

I got accepted for 1 year pgwp programme for Sep2022 intake, but after getting LoA, it was only specified as 8 months program (although it is stated in an official website that its a year long program) , so it will end in April 30 in 2023, and i am planning to reapply for another program from septmber 2023, so it will be around total of 16 months programme. Will I be eligible for 3 years PGWP?

[@chowdhuryniloyhossain1837]

Yes

[@rrdancel]

It really depends on the officer reviewing your file. If your total program of study is less than 2 years but more than 8 months - they may issue you the same length for your PGWP. If the visa officer is feeling generous, sometimes they may bump it to 3. But are you willing to risk it?

[@mamatabhandari1860]

Thank you so much for the replies. I will try to choose the next programme with sufficient length.

Is it okay op study for 1 yr then pgwp for 1yr then that’s the time to apply for the 2nd program?

[@rrdancel]

Please note that you can only apply for a PGWP once. So, if you applied for your PGWP after your first 1 year program, then you won’t be able to apply for the PGWP again after your second 1 year program. If you need more information or guidance, please send an email to [e-mail]
