May I ask u how u apply the study permit?
Can u please tell me ?
Thank u
Just check out the requirements for applying. One the requirements is the proof that you've already been accepted in the educational institution you want to go to.

I applied for study permit while still in the Live-in caregiver program. The work permit says you are not authorized to go to school, of course, because it's a work permit that's why you need to apply for a study permit separately.

You can have both study permit and work permit at the same time. You don't need to give up one for the other.

Just make sure to show the school when you register that you have a work permit so they don't charge you an international student rate.

Cheers!

I am a bit confused, are you saying that once you show the institution you have a valid work permit they will charge you an international student rate?

If you're not Canadian citizen or Canadian PR then you pay international rates.

You don't need to. Show your status (OWP) and that's it. The SIN and health card will be co-terminus with your OWP.

I just talked to an agent and he confirmed the approval of my work permit and told me to expect it on the mail in a couple of days. But he also told me that they have changed their system and the approval of my OWP does not mean my PR application has already been approved in principle too. Processing time he said is 17 months and so I should be expecting some news for my PR by Sept. 2012.
aridoarikato said:
I got it, i got it !!!...owp is in the mail today. Issued last dec. 3 :D. Next stop job hunting :eek: God is good!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS aridoarikato! ;)

If you don't mind, may I know the remarks stated on your OWP? Thanks!
