Can I apply for student visa?

[sedad]

I have applied for Skilled Work Residence application in 2008; my file number is still in process.

I am planning to do my Master in Business Administration for this year; I am in the process of applying to McMaster and Victoria University.

I was wondering whether I could apply for a student visa in Canada, even though my skilled work residence file is still in process status.

**spam** said that my request for student visa will be rejected because of my existing in process file for skilled work visa!

Your advice in my case is highly appreciated.

According to CHC u r not allow to apply more than one visa applications in a time. U have a condition to apply for study permit. If u withdraw ur Skilled Work Residence application, u will have chance to apply after 6 month for student visa.

Hi,

1. Not exactly. You can apply for a study permit from out side Canada during the processing of your PR application. You will need to meet the requirements for the study permit application. (This include the requirement to satisfy visa officer that you will leave Canada within the period of authorized stay) notwithstanding your PR application to reside in Canada permanently.

Thanks guys for the reply.

I guess as my consultant said, my request for student visa would be declined because I had already showed interest to move to Canada.

I will just save my time and apply for a master in another country.

Regards.

Look Sedad, U are being misled by ur consultant. This is the problem I have with ppl using all these consultants, they usually don't know much. I have never used them and I will never use them. Just like Akif Moin have said, U may apply if u want to. Ur decision to apply in this situation is legitimate and that is the bottom line. There is a special provision for ur case by the CIC which is being referred to as "Dual Intent"

This is what ur consultant does not know. Section 22 subsection 2 of the IRPA of the CIC makes it legal and legitimate for anyone applying under this condition. The only thing is that u have to demonstrate to the visa officer that u have ties back home that shows that u will go back home after ur study.
