LOI / POE Letter - SW-1 approved but the letter says work permit only.

[mkelleci]

Hello guys,

I got SW-1 (because I got co-op in my study) and my wife got W-1 visa. My LOI/LOE letter starts with your application to study.... but on the next page (for officer use) it says type: Work Permit / Permis PT. There is nothing related to study permit. Do you thinks there is problem with the letter?

Thanks

No, a co-op permit is a type of work permit given to students.

Thanks for the response. But the letter of my wife is the same. Type: Work Permit / Permis PT. I am confused. If "Work permit / Permis PT" is for co-op, I think my wife you have received something else, don't you think?

No, you are really getting confused. W-1 denotes that the permit holder can work. SW-1 states that permit holder is a student and he has authorization to work. Both your permits are work permits, only your allows you to study, and work during your co-op.

I got the same LOE saying WP although I applied for a study permit. Did you any problems in getting your hard copy of Study permit at the airport?

You are getting WP because you have a Co-Op work permit which is a work permit, hence WP. No need to take tension, you will get study permit.

So, with the SW-1, are you allowed to work more than that stipulated 20hr/WK given to those with only study permit?

No, with co-op work permit you can work a co-op job. This will have to be arranged via your college. Your college will specify when you can do this co-op job. This co-op job will be part of your education.
