Step-by-Step

A member considering Trent University's Master of Management program noticed the website only listed one year's worth of fees, and asked for the full program cost and whether the 16-month program would earn a 3-year PGWP.

What the thread clarified:
  1. A 16-month program length was confirmed to lead to a 3-year PGWP — programs of at least 2 years generally earn the full 3-year permit, and this specific 16-month structure was confirmed as qualifying.

  2. The university's website may only show partial fee information (e.g. just year one), so email the university directly to get the full program's fee structure — this was the consistent recommendation when the published fees seemed incomplete.

  3. For finding relevant discussion posts, using specific keyword searches on Facebook's search function was suggested as a way to surface related community posts about the same program, since not many people may be actively discussing a specific niche program at any given time.


The practical takeaway: a 16-month program like Trent's Master of Management can qualify for the full 3-year PGWP, but don't rely on a university's website alone for total program costs — email the university directly to confirm the complete fee structure before applying.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Tip: A confirmed 16-month program length can qualify for a full 3-year PGWP.
  • Do: Email the university directly to confirm the complete program fee structure if the website only shows partial information.
