Can I have a part-time study while working full-time with PGWP

[lxsunrain]

Hi everyone, I am an international student working with a PGWP. I am working on a full-time job in Ontario and scheduling to get PR through CEC draw. As my score is not competitive, I am considering studying for a graduation certificate or diploma for getting additional points. Is it possible to work on my full-time job and study as a part-time student in a college? And do I need to apply for a study permit under this condition?

You will need a study permit to do so.

What visa?

You will need a study permit to do so.

This is quite interesting. I didn't know about this.

If I had to make a guess, I would have thought it would be similar to the US, where you can enrol in part time studies while on work visa (e.g. H1B)

Do you have this condition in your PGWP?:

2. UNLESS AUTHORIZED, PROHIBITED FROM ATTENDING ANY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION, OR TAKING ANY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION OR VOCATIONAL TRAINING COURSE.

You may be able to take studies that are less than six month in length but not enough to gain extra points for a certificate or diploma. Depends what the conditions on PGWP state.

Not the case in Canada.

Unfortunately post grad certificate or diplomas won’t be possible without a study permit.
