Hi all,

Can I study part-time while on an owp?
As long as the total duration of the program is six months or less, yes.

Including the co-op?
Yes, including any co-op if that's part of the program to graduate / get certified.

What program are you looking to take?

I was previously enrolled in a program that was 2 years total including co-op. I did the first 6 months, then switched to owp, now I wanted to keep doing it and graduate if possible.

Not on an OWP. You need a study permit. The TOTAL length of the program must be six months or less in order to be able to take the program without a study permit.
