Can I get a three-year work permit in Canada after completing a one-year PG certificate and then another degree for a Diploma?
Yes, you may be eligible for a three-year Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) in Canada if you complete a one-year Post-Graduate Certificate followed by another eligible degree or diploma.
