Need certificate for work

[mcnitec]

Hey I’m working as an educator in Canada and for that I had to take three classes online to get my certificate. The duration in total is 7 months. Is it ok? Cause usually when u have a work permit you’re not allowed to study unless it’s 6 months or less.
I started those classes usually later and finished earlier but the official transcript duration says 7 months

It's a violation of the terms of your work permit. So it depends on how much the visa officer cares if you apply for anything in the future.

If any immigration application asks if you've violated the terms of your admission to Canada or your visa, you have to say yes - since the transcripts say seven months.

Even it’s online?

You're not allowed to take study programs longer than six months - online, by radio, postcard study, etc. If the prohibition applied only to in-person classes it would say so.

You know this, which is why you're asking.

Well now I’m screwed. Because I started later and finished earlier that’s why I thought it’s ok. But in the official online transcript it says 7 months in total for all the three classes
Thank you

You're not screwed until your application is refused. Like I said, it depends on how the visa officer interprets everything.

If it was online studies that can be done from anywhere in the world, it's fine. That does not require a study permit.
