Hello everyone, my question is that I have a pgwp that will expire in January 2025. I applied to mohawk college and got accepted for September 2024 term but couldn't start because my study permit application was still in process. it got delayed so I withdraw myself from the course and applied for open work permit, which automatically got extended until march 2025 or until they make any decision. I also have a trv until 2027. the confusion here is that my study permit got accepted now but I don't want to study anymore because I don't have the money for the next semester and want request a refund from the college and save that money for future, and continue working. but if I do that what will happen to my study permit? will it automatically gets invalid? will this affect my work permit application and TRV cause I don't want to leave the country.

I have a trv for more than 6 months, which qualifies to apply for an open work permit.
You are not eligible for an open work permit with a TRV. The rules are for TRPs, not TRV. Your WP will be refused.
Ohh, I didn't know that but why did then it allowed me to apply at the first place?
The system will allow it to, once an officer looks at your application it’ll be refused
Having a TRV valid till 2027 is irrelevant
Your stay was always temporary in nature
You're right. Just keep working until you get a decision and go from there.
That's okay with me even if they reject my work permit application, my concern is that they have accepted my study permit application, I have an option to go study in January 2025 because I had already paid my tuition but I don't have the money for the next semester so I wanted to get a refund from the college but if I do that, do I have to inform that to IRCC or the college will inform them, either way, will this affect my TRV? Because I want to stay in the country.
The college will inform IRCC that you are a no show. You will need to look at the deposit return policy given you were granted the study permit
