Not able to find a definite answer.
But i dnt think so ??

You can apply based on the "the official length of your program of study in Canada". If your last course had an official length of one year, I suspect that's all you are entitled to. I see no reference to daisy-chaining courses to add up to a longer period.

It doesn't mention combining two diplomas. It mentions combining a diploma with MBA or degree. Diploma, to my knowledge, is not a degree. Bachelors, Masters or Phd is a degree.

Students holding a one-year graduate degree, diploma or certificate from a participating institution in Canada after having obtained, within the prior two years, a certificate, a diploma or degree from a participating institution in Canada may qualify for a three-year work permit.

It looks like mix and match is perfectly acceptable.

Yes it can.

Students holding a one-year graduate degree, diploma or certificate from a participating institution in Canada after having obtained, within the prior two years, a certificate, a diploma or degree from a participating institution in Canada may qualify for a three-year work permit. This exception also applies to students who have left Canada temporarily between programs of study.
