Hello,

I know someone who had a PGWP and is currently under implied status because he filed extension. He wanted to continue studying, but couldnt do it because of the lockdown.
Now he got admission, he is in Canada, still waiting for his decision on extension, can he go ahead and apply for study permit to start studying even though he doesnt have a decision yet?

Thanks in advance.

He is waiting on this PGWP decision? or Study Permit extension?

No, he cannot start studying. He has to wait until the study permit is approved before he can start studying.

Can he apply for a study permit even when he is waiting on a decision on his visitor record?
Yes. However, if the visitor app is refused, he will be out of status and the study permit app will also be refused.

Thank you so much. It's clear now. Do you happen to know if he should be applying for inside Canada application or outside?
