Since you are an engineer (assuming you did Bachelor's), you should always opt for a higher level credential than your current qualification in the field of your previous study/ background. So, a diploma.. which will be lower than your present qualification will most probably get you a rejected visa. Hence, you must opt for a PG level course, in your area of previous study. Now, how suitable will be GBM, which is a general management course open to applicants of all background for you.. I'm uncertain and are unable to comment. But definitely a PG level course will be better than a diploma..in your case.

Go for a recognized publicly funded college, which will allow you to get PGWP.

The PG level IB programme at Conestoga is exactly 8 months/ 2 SEM long without any option for co-op. so, most probably you 'll get only 8 months PGWP, again you may or may not get longer PGWP of 1 year, depending upon the VO issuing your PGWP and the number of credit hours, in the course. To be on the safer side, go for a PG IB course or something related to your field of engineering with a co-op option, where you will surely get extra time to your PGWP..depending on the number of extra co-op months you do other than the 8 months.

If you are planning to join a 1 year course and again join another 1 year course, why not better join a 2 years (16 months/4 SEM) combined course, where you will get 3 years PGWP. Unless after doing 1 year PG level certificate course, you do a Masters level course of 1 year or more, you will not get 3 years PGWP..and only receive 2 years PGWP. On top, since you don't 've good marks.. getting into a Master's course in any publicly funded University will be difficult. So, if you have your doubts, go for a combined 2 years PG cert/diploma course, preferably in your field of previous study.
