I have a similar question. I started my course in 2015 and graduated in 2018. I had 4 academic semesters, a 8 month co-op and two scheduled breaks. Does my program count as a 2 year or 3 year diploma? please help

Everything scheduled counts, semesters, breaks, co-op.

Hello! Can anyone please help me out with it? I'm really stressed about it and I don't have time.

I have been accepted into this one college (Public College)program in Canada which has 4 semesters and 2 co-op/work terms in a period of 2 years.
I will like to know if I fall on Canada's 3 years of Work visa eligibility.
On the Canada's Government website it says that 2 years or more than 2 years required to get 3 years of work visa but my program also has co-op/work terms in 2 years. Are the co-op hours going to be counted? Will I get 3 years of PGWP?

REPLY URGENT !

How many academic years did it say on your offer letter. Co-op is academic semester so it is as if you are studying. Be sure to check if the institution is eligible for PGWP and you have enough credits

 

[Ahmedtalalabbasi]

Institution is eligible for PGWP, I checked that.
This is how it's going to work:

• Sem 1: Winter 2021
• Sem 2: Summer 2021
• Sem 3: Fall 2021
• Sem 4: Winter 2022
• Work Term 1: Summer 2022
• Work Term 2: Fall 2022

And on the College Website:

Delivery: Full-time
Work Integrated Learning: 2 Co-op Work Terms
Length: 4 Semesters, plus 2 work terms
Duration: 2 Years

I hope now you can tell? And please explain the credits thing, what is it and how to check?
Thank you,

Hi,

I have a similar question,

I'm looking to apply to a program that is offering a 1.5 year option that includes 12 months of study and 6 months of co op. The college is in the list of DLIs.

This is how the program is going to look like,
Term 1 (Summer 21): 2 months
Term 2 (Fall 21): 3 months
Term 3 (Winter 22): 4 months
Term 4 (Summer 22): co op - 6 months
Term 5 (Fall 22): 3 months

I read in multiple forums that 18 months of study will be considered as 2 years and be given a 3 year PGWP.

But would the co op be considered as a part of the study program?

Urgent response would be highly appreciated

Thanks,

Co-op is considered as part of your education. So the terms you count as co-op counts towards the length of your study

Thank you,

You should be eligible for the 2 years of studies = 3 years of pgwp

Hi,

Thank you for your response.
So could clarify to me if that means i will be eligible for the 3 year PGWP.

Thanks,

Yes, 18 months of study is 2 academic years. You should be eligible for 3 yrs of pgwp.

Carefully said, some programs have optional coop and if you dont find a work placement, it will not be counted in
