Do I need separate study permit for CPA prep courses If I already have one for my master's degree?

[Famil17]

Hi guys,

I am about to start my master's degree in Canada. I searched a lot on the internet about my situation but didn't get the answers that I needed.


1) I have study permit for masters, do I need a separate study permit to enroll in part-time CPA preparatory courses in order to get certifications to pursue my accounting career.

2) If I am able to do it with my current study permit, does that mean I need to extend my study permit after graduation to continue to enroll in CPA courses?

3) Can I enroll in CPA courses if I hold PGWP?


I really need help! Thank's in advance!

CPA prep consists of 14 courses. You spend about 2 and half months for each of them.

Not sure how you will have time to do CPA prep and an MBA at the same time especially if you intend to work. It is hard to tell because if viewed as separate modules you wouldn’t need a study permit but if it is a whole program you would. When you got a study permit for your MBA you are supposed to focus on doing your best to get through and succeed at your MBA.
