Dear Friends,

I am in Canada right now and my status is expiring in due time. To stay in Canada, I am thinking of applying for a study permit, which I will definitely get considering my profile. Let's assume I get admission to a college for 1 year graduate certificate program starting Fall 2017.

The fee deadline for the program is mid July where I can pay $500 and defer the payment till end of September month. I don't intend to pay even after that and a penalty of $100 - 150 will be applied to my account.

What I intend to do is to work full time. I know my study permit allows 20 hours/ week. I can work 20 hours/ week on record and 20 hours off record. This will obviously result in missing many classes, attending a few.

By November 2017, (I still have not paid the fees), I' ll be married and my spouse will apply for my dependent open work permit based on his work permit in Canada. Once, I get my work permit, I stop doing the 20 hours off record and switch to a official full time 40 hours job and withdraw from all the courses in my college and forget about that program. Now I can officially keep working till my work permit expires and I only had to pay $500 to the college.

What are the glitches or unrealistic assumptions in this plan?

Any advice?

Thanks a lot for you input!

This has already been answered in your duplicate post and you will be found out the moment that your to be spouse applies for any work permit that you have not fulfilled the terms of your study permit by not attending classes which will be reported to CIC by the college and even possibly by working illegally on a study permit. Not only will the open work permit be denied and you will be out of status but will be asked to leave the country and risk being banned from reentry for a long time.

Just remember the system has seen all these schemes before and the moment you are in the system say for a study permit then anything that follows will be assessed on you having met the terms of everything that went before whether that is the study permit or even overstaying as a visitor.

In addition your to be spouse status will also probably be under threat for participation in this illegal scheme for misrepresentation and could also have their status in Canada cancelled and be asked to leave the country.

So overall not a viable plan at all you have to play by the rules attend class full time, work legally and go from there if not then your future in Canada will be short
