Hi guys,

Really need advice on my application.

I graduated this summer and got my PGWP in July. My study permit expired on July 31th.

But now I want to start a part-time study while working and have already gotten the offer from DLI school.

My question is : to study legally in Canada, should I apply for restore student status(my study permit expired less than 90 days) or I should just apply for a new study permit?

If I choose to apply for a new study permit, will it be as complicated as the first-time study permit application(hundreds pages financial documents and study plan....), or it just similar like extend the study permit?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You need a study permit for that. You can't do these studies on a PGWP.

The issue you face is that a PGWP can only be obtained once and you won't qualify for another one.

I'm not sure if it's possible to hold a PGWP and study permit at the same time. Obtaining a new study permit might cancel out the PGWP. I don't know enough to tell you either way.

Thank you for the reply. I am pretty sure that I can both have a study permit and PGWP. As long as I study part-time, the working experience also counts for CEC.
