Can I attend a coding bootcamp with PGWP in Montreal?

[slk127]

Hi there! I am recently graduated with BA degree in Quebec and obtained my Post-Graduation Work Permit with it. I'm currently working full-time in Montreal, but I'm also interested in attending a coding bootcamp in Montreal (Lighthouse Labs & 12weeks program), which isn't a designated learning institution here in Quebec. My work permit has a condition in which I am not allowed to take any educational or vocational courses. However, since it isn't a designated learning institution, am I allowed to attend the bootcamp? Thanks in advance!

As long as the program is under 6 months, you're fine.

My PGWP had the same restriction and it said any training from any educational institution, not just DLIs. In my opinion, a coding bootcamp is a vocacional course/training.
