3 courses - each lasting 1 year , what would be the length of my PGWP?

[hellocanadavisa123]

There are 3 different courses which I would like to study and each lasting a year. My question is if I do those 3 courses first then apply for PGWP, what is the length of my visa going to be? just 1 year or going to be 3 years? Appreciated if someone could provide some insight. Thanks a lot!

If you combine courses so they are 2 years or more you will get 3 year PGWP. Actually your 3rd course does not help in anything in terms of PGWP.

Thanks a lot. That helps. I also read in the other thread that for PGWP, it's not about the actual length of study, instead total semesters. It says 2 semesters = 1 year studies. As long as a course has 4 semesters, it's said that PGWP going to be 3 years. Just putting a bit of my efforts here so others might find it useful. If I am not on the right track, feel free to correct me too.

Don't think they correct according to IRCC its the official program time not semesters, I think they are slightly flexible in their interpretation because semesters and years dont line up exactly.

Wow ! Almost got it wrong. Thanks for the correction. Here is the thread https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...am-eligible-for-3yr-pgwp.574391/#post-7118357 about my point.

I guess this is a bit confusing and the final outcome entirely depends on the immigration officer and the school if a course period is less than 2 years but more than 15 months.
