Hello Everyone,
Please I need someone to advise Me.I have applied for OINP under foreign worker stream .
I have a post grad work permit from February 2016 -February 2019.After the work permit expires I changed my status to study permit in Jan 2019 to start a new programme at school in may.
On submitting my study permit application to the immigration I marked it on the form as applying for study and work permit on the application form and I also indicated I will start my programme in MAY 2019.
Since FEB 2019 my work permit expired and I have been working 4o hours continuously to the start of my programme at school. I have applied for OINP foreign worker stream and I was giving intent to refuse application because my total years of experience is 1year 9 month that my working experience with study permit will not be accepted as i am allowed to work 20 hours only with study permit.
MY QUESTION IS ? Can I explained to the OINP that I am allowed to work 40 hours when my programmed of study has not commenced .as per the IMMIGRATION CRITERIA I believe you can work 4o hours up to a maximum of 150 days before commencing your programme.
Its also on the Immigration website you can only work 20 hours /week if your course is currently on at school.
please I need someoneto advise me on what steps that need to be taking.Thank you all
