Hi,

Can someone on Spousal open work permit study Early Childhood Education?

I am exploring this option for my wife, which will enable her to apply for PR under skilled workers stream.

Work permit says this - "Unless authorized, prohibited from attending any educational institution, or taking any academic, professional or vocational training course."

Thanks

She needs to apply for a study permit showing education and career advancement. She needs to show that taking the course will give her higher pay than her current/past jobs to justify costs. She needs to show it is building on her current education. ECE only requires secondary so if she has a degree or diploma already it will be hard to justify.

Isn't there a clause that people for work permit can study upto six months? Or that won't apply in our case?

Thanks

Isn’t an ECE diploma one or two years? What PR program for a six month certificate?

How can I apply for a post graduate programme in a Canadain school with CGPA 2.53? Should I also take the lELTS test in English before applying and which Canadian school accepts such grade level for Masters degree.

I am sorry, I meant an ECE Assistant program. Usually these are less than 6 months,

Please connect me if I am wrong, ECE Assistants are in NOC 42202 (TEER 2); and can apply for PR under BC PNP? Please tell me if my assumption is incorrect.

That is the same NOC for ECE. So if she takes a certificate or course under 6 months then it should not be an issue. The school will tell her if she needs a study permit. She will not get points for Canadian education.

There are several streams under BC PNP so you need to determine if she meets requirements.

Better if she work full time and in such field or province where she get PR.

Have you tried consulting with the organization that issued her open work permit? They will be able to tell you if there are any restrictions or conditions that apply to her specific work permit.

This is spousal open work permit - which she got because I have a closed ICT work permit.

Yes, that's the idea. Do this course, make in entry in ECE registry and do a full time job as ECE Assistant in BC.

Does she have previous education in the same field, if yes she can get it assessed as per Canadian education standards. Then can look for employment and can ask the employers to support her as they sometimes gets grants from Gov.

Thanks. She has a B.Ed. degree from India - which she did more than 20 years ago. Should we get that assessed too along with her M.Sc.? Will it help in her getting a ECE Assistant job?

Yes please go ahead you never know, even if it gets assessed to level 1, she might be able to enter the field. Once in she can get to increase the circle and contacts to get knowledge and help.

Just to add hope you guys are getting them assessed from Education assessment body and not WES.

Ohh, I didn't know that. She has already initiated WES for both her degrees.

I tried to find education assessment body in Canada, but couldn't. Please help with the link.

Thanks
