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.

To qualify:
- Both programs must be at least 8 months long, full-time, and from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) eligible for the PGWP. - The combined length of both programs must be at least two years. - The second program must be completed within two years of finishing the first. - Both programs must be completed successfully, and you must apply for the PGWP within 180 days of receiving confirmation of program completion. - From November 1, 2024, proof of language proficiency is required for the PGWP application (subject to change).
