What form was it ?
Any idea ?

Because I sent my application to Ottawa!
 
When I called them today they said like it will take one month to process ! If you received within 2 weeks that's great. Your one is study permit ? I just sent my documents yesterday.
 
You got within 2 weeks ?


Yes, within 2 weeks your old permit should say “Document Is Invalid”

And new document will be added.

2-3 weeks is an approximate timeline.
 
Ok thank you. Infact ive sent my original old documents to Ontario. I should give them a call by end of the week. Till I get new letter I can't work ?

You can’t work as you don’t have SIN.
Once you get new document, you will go to Service Canada, get SIN, then work.

So yeah you can’t work.
Also you can’t work until you start your classes.

When do your classes start ?

If you start working before classes start it may affect your future applications as it’ll be unauthorized work.
 
Oh I see. Thanks for enlighten me. Really you helped me in this issue. I though I can work even before start my classes. My classes starts end of the month. What should I do to expedite the process of getting the SIN ?

No,
Don’t do that !!

Unfortunately everyone thinks they can work, but you only can work when classes start.

Please go through online guides on working while being a student.

You also need to be a full time student to be working part time.

And working full time in academic breaks only.

I'm a full time student. Immigration officer did a mistake while giving my study permit not mentioning the work conditons. I hope I'll get my amended permit at the earliest by God willing.
