I have the student permit for a 1 yr course in a Canadian college and the visa type is S-1(student visa). But some students are getting SW-1(student-work visa). Kindly let me know the difference. Does this come in my way of applying for a post study work permit later? Am I allowed to work part time during studies?

S1 is Study Only Visa.

SW1 is Study And Work Visa ( Usually Given to Those students who are Going for a Co-Op Program which requires Credits Of Work at Some Place )

No You are not Allowed to Work for Six Months. After that you Can Apply For Off Campus Work Permit.

And No It Doesn't Effect the Post Study Work Permit.
