Hi All,
Happy New Year!
I am an international MSc student currently working as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University where I am registered as a full time student. The University pays me as an employee with the only difference that I hold a study permit instead of a work permit, but I have got my T4 split from them and my advisor is willing to give me a reference letter as requested by CIC. I have been one year working 35 hrs/week as a Graduate Research Assistant. My question is:
1-Am I eligible to apply under CEC as a worker?
The new checklist document says that Applicants who are authorized to work in Canada without a work permit are eligible to apply under the CEC, but must provide documentation of their legal status (eg. visitor record).
2-Can I assume Study Permit as well?
