    Study Permit Clause - No Off Campus Work Authorised

    Just to close the loop on this: I sent off my forms to Ottawa September 6th, and on October 7th had the confirmation via email that the restrictions were removed and that a new, amended study permit has been posted to my address, allowing me to work off campus etc. So, it was incorrect (needing...

    your experience with bordepass.ca

    Study Permit Clause - No Off Campus Work Authorised

    Thank you both for your input, once again. Forevermore76, I’d revisit your definition of a diploma mill. Centennial is the oldest public community college in Ontario, and while I agree some of the qualifications gained there may be of use to neither man or beast, they have a good reputation...

    Thanks for your input. Working in admin for over 15 years prior to this move, I am well versed in people making administrative mistakes. Perhaps this is a mistake, perhaps not.

    Hi folks, I arrived into Pearson yesterday morning, and received my study permit. Super quick and easy process. From landing to being in the arrivals area took 45 mins (most of that time was waiting for baggage). However, my study permit has a clause saying "This permit does not authorise the...

    Certified Translations

    Thank you for your input. I think I was overcomplicating things with the notary. As you say, affidavit is also not needed as the translators are official government sanctioned workers that provide all the certification required. I will submit as per your experience! Gracias!
