Change my Visa Conditions (Student to Visitor)

[Hcarlost]

Hello Everyone!

I applied for a Student Visa in March through Visa Application Center in Caracas (Venezuela) and It was approved 2 weeks after, but the real problem was that I got my passport with the Visa 6 weeks after the approved (because of Venezuelan problems) and I could not start my Post Graduate.

My wife applied for the same Visa 2 months before me and She already started her Certificate because she got her passport On Time. We are already in CANADA! so, Do I have to change my Visa Conditions from Student to Visitor before to apply for an Open Work Permit after June 1st.? or just wait for June to apply for an OWP with my Student Visa?.

Thanks in advance for your help....

I don't get what you are trying to do. You no longer are interested in studying, now you want to work?

Use the tool to know what are your options: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/eligibility.asp

Anyway, you are a student as long as your Study Permit is valid. If you want an Open Work Permit then you should post this thread in the Foreign Workers forum.
