SWITCH STUDY PERMIT To WORK PERMIT?!!

[thatblingring]

Is it possible to switch from a study permit to a work permit? This is without graduating. If I'm inbetween studies in my 2nd or 3rd year and I decide to just work and take some time (a year or 2) to work. Can I just apply for a work permit? Even if my study permit is about to expire?

Thank you!!

Sure - you can try switching to a work permit. In order to apply for a work permit you will first need to obtain a full time job offer from an employer in Canada and that employer will have to obtain an approved LMIA.
