Can I study an online high school course (under 6 months) while holding an OWP?

[crazyufo]

Hi everyone, I’m currently in Canada on an open work permit (OWP).

My work permit says:

“Unless authorized, prohibited from attending any educational institution or taking any academic, professional or vocational training course.”

I’m not planning to enroll in any college or university program — I just want to take one online high school course (Ontario Grade 12 Chemistry, SCH4U) from Virtual High School (VHS) / TVO ILC / Ontario eSecondary School (OES)

The course will be fully online, no in-person attendance, and can be finished within 6 months.

Does this fall under the exemption (study permit not required for courses under 6 months)? Has anyone done something similar while on a work permit?

Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences!

Yes, you can.

And all the distance learning courses don't require a study permit. no matter how long they are.
