Hello guys,
I have an open work permit based on my wife's study permit. Now I have a chance to start a Ph.D. and I need to change to study permit as soon as possible.

Based on the government website it takes 5 weeks to process the new application. Does it take 5 weeks for me even with an open work visa?

Thanks,

1. Yes, same for you as everyone else. Plus more time if you have to do bio metrics

How long did it actually take? There is study permit and a study permit extension category as well, which category is for change of status from open work permit to study permit?
