Can I study part-time while holding PGWP?

[nikky2112]

Hi everyone,

I got PGWP in May 2021 and currently have a full-time job. In PGWP, there is a note "Unless Authorized, prohibited from attending any educational institution, or taking any academic, professional or vocational training course". I wonder whether I can enroll in a part-time program (6-month length) under PGWP?
My program is a Certificate in Digital Marketing at York U.
Program Period: Oct 18, 2021 - May 08, 2022 - study online and on-campus Sat and Sunday only.

Hope someone can give me the answer. Much appreciated.

No, you can’t study unless you get a study permit.

No, you can’t study unless you get a study permit.

Can I still apply for a study permit while holding PGWP?

Usually you can’t hold both permits. Wait for people to reply to say you can do it. The idea is that you complete your studies before applying for PGWP.
