Per the thread, the length of your PGWP is generally tied to the length of your program of study, not simply whether your total enrollment period is under or over 24 months.
- A program with roughly 16 months of actual study (even if spread across a longer, up-to-2-year enrolment period) was described by group members as qualifying for the maximum 3-year PGWP.
- This is a program-length rule, not a strict calendar cutoff — a 19-month enrolment isn't automatically disqualified just because it's "less than 24 months" in total length, if the actual instructional/study duration meets the threshold.
- Always verify with your school and IRCC directly, since PGWP eligibility rules have changed over time and specific program structures (co-op terms, breaks, etc.) can affect the calculation. Treat any forum consensus as a starting point, not a final answer.
