Hello guys,

I'm a little bit concerned about my situation. I'm going to canada under the In home Caregiver program. After I complete my 24 months of work, I can apply for PR. The problem is that they require at least a certificate of one-year post secondary education (in my home country or in Canada) in order to accept it. I can't find anywhere else if is acceptable or not distance learning for this purpose. What I found:

"The following activities are not considered studies for the purposes of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and do not require a study permit:

  • pre-school (pre-kindergarten);
  • courses of general interest or self-improvement;
  • distance learning; and
  • audited courses (typically by sitting in on an academic course, but without obtaining credit for it, or having the ability to obtain credit for it retroactively)."
Can someone help me out with a solution to this? Thank you!
