Am I eligible for a three years post-graduation work permit?

[elisjiang]

Hi,
I'm a international student of Niagara College. I'm studying a Post-secondary Program nowand this is my first semester. But I want to change to Graduate Program in Sep, and hopefully will graduate in April next year. I will finish four semesters and 75 credits totally. The first two semesters belong to the Post-secondary Program and the next two semesters belong to the Graduate Program. And I will get a Ontario College Graduate Certificate finally.

I want to know after I finish my study, am I eligible for a three years post-graduation work permit?

Thank you!

I'm still confused about your writing.

Ok , if you complete both programs, and have certificate for both , Then you get a 2 year work permit , for studying 2 academic year.
If you do one program and leave the previous program in between , then only one year work permit.

And if you take a program of 2 years [same program] , then you get a 3 year work permit.

Good Luck.

yes, they are two different programs. But our school says the One-year Graduate Program students can still get 3-year work permit if they take the General Arts and Sciece for more 4months after they finish their graduate program.

Which school ?
They cant change the CIC rules obviously.
If it is total one course of minimum 16 months , then only you're eligible for 3 year PGWP.
