Anyone got a study permit that doesn't allow you to work though you qualify?

Hi. Anyone has faced this situation?

On my study permit it says "Unless authorized, prohibited from engaging in employment in Canada", even though you are qualified? ( mine is full time masters program, longer than 6 months)


what should I do? And will I need the study permit during the time I mail it back to cic to be amended?


Thanks guys.

I think you can have it amended by mail: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/amend.asp

Thanks man. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm wondering do you need to use the study permit a lot? Since I won't have it for a month :S

You got a wrong study permit. You must send the amended to ottowa with application, ur acceptance letter, ur study permit, passport and other relevent document.

Just have some vacation until you get a new study permit. Because you cant work without social insurance number.

Yes I got partial entrance scholarship from the university. But I think the reason was that I came here 2 months earlier and I wasn't registered in classes during the time I arrived.
