Ineligible programs of study

Students are not eligible for the off-campus work permit program if either of the following applies:

• they are registered in a general interest program of study that does not meet the definition of an academic, professional or vocational training program as defined above (for instance, ESL/FSL courses for self-improvement)
• they are undertaking a course or program of study that is a prerequisite to their enrolment at a DLI

Note: Students who are enrolled in a program of study that meets the definition of an academic, professional or vocational training program and who are undertaking the ESL/FSL component simultaneously may be eligible to work off campus pursuant to paragraph R186(v) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR)

You're not talking the eel course simultaneously. You are completing it before the MBA and that is why you don't qualify to work.

I'm not a big expert in English yet I think to be enrolled in a program and taking a course have different meanings.
