Applying for Study Permit while PR application is open

I had explained my dual intent in the SOP... Also I had received an ITA and had also submitted all the necessary documents... However if you wanna go through my SOP I can send it to you... just leave your email I’d here

hello all.
any update in Nov 2024 ?
does dual intent still exist?
or should choose 1 between the two ?

CIC allows it, and I actually did that, it's called dual intent:

The Come to Canada tool is only a wizard for online applications, it's not the actual ministerial instructions.


I for one applied for a TRV while my PR application was in progress. I answered the questionnaire as if I was only applying for a TRV, I even used the same MyCIC account and UCI number as my Express Entry app, and there was no conflict at all: My PR application was approved 2 weeks after my TRV was stamped. I got the GCMS notes for both applications, and CIC was perfectly aware of my parallel applications.



I reused my PR medical for my TRV medical (although not required). So if you do upfront medicals for Express Entry, you can submit the same one for your study permit.

Sorry for reviving this thread after such a long time.
Won't this parallel TRV become an issue for the PR application if the TRV is rejected?

No

No

Thank you for the quick response. I deeply appreciate it.
How about if I withdraw the SP application, will that hurt anything. Since, given my specific circumstances, and the fact that my rep really submitted the SP against my explicit request not to as my eAPR was ongoing, there is a good chance it will be rejected. And a rejection I think would hurt more than a withdrawal. Right?!

A rejection will not hurt the PR application unless there is misrepresentation and a misrepresentation ban.

Thank you so much Scylla, really appreciated your kind and clear input. I will definitely update this thread with how things went with my specific case. Thanks a lot!
