Sowp to study permit

[clickadiclack]

Hello guys,
My sowp has expired in March and I have applied for the extension based on my spouse's pgwp before expiry. But I do not think that it will be approved since my spouse is not able to secure job in NOC specific job according to new rule. So I'm thinking about joining a certificate level course though I already have a Bachelor's degree. Do you think I can secure study permit with an offer letter for certificate level program?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Well you need LOA and PAL to apply for a study permit as well as showing proof of funds. You need to justify costs of program with career and education progression when you return home. Application will be processed from home country unless spouse has valid work or study permit.

Do you think it is possible to apply for the study permit within Canada while on the maintained status for sowp extension?

You can apply from anywhere.

You can. But once the SOWP extension is refused, you'll fall out of status in Canada.

Make sure your planned studies in Canada make sense in light of your previous education and work experience and show a progression in studies.

I thought so too. I'm getting acceptance and PAL soon. Guess, I will just go back and apply from my home country. It aligns with my previous work experience and is for Masters program not certificate. Thanks a lot.
