Thanks. I was worried that CIC staff will reject a TFW permit application when they see that I'm not currently enrolled. But, if previous or current enrollment is not required, why do they ask for "Proof of academic standing at institution: letter or transcript from last two periods of study" in the document checklist IMM5556E? Shouldn't a valid study permit be sufficient?metea said:No enrollment is necessary.
You apply for the off-campus work permit if you want to work outside of the univ.
You can apply for this permit only if you are a full time student.
It also limits you by allowing only a part time employment.
If you are to work on-campus you have no need for a permit.
Because you are in Canada as a student and not as a TFW.madraida said:Thanks. I was worried that CIC staff will reject a TFW permit application when they see that I'm not currently enrolled.

My question was about applying for a TFW (temporary foreign worker) permit, not off-campus work permit, while in Canada with a valid study permit.job_seeker said:Because you are in Canada as a student and not as a TFW.

The Off-Campus Work Permit Program allows certain foreign students to work off campus while completing their studies. To qualify, you must be a full-time student enrolled at a participating publicly funded post-secondary educational institution or in an approved program at an eligible privately funded institution.
You may need to change your temporary resident visa from student to worker. Visa processing is done at Canadian Consulate/visa offices outside Canada. You can call CIC to verify about this though.madraida said:My question was about applying for a TFW (temporary foreign worker) permit, not off-campus work permit, while in Canada with a valid study permit.
So, the CIC does require TFW permit applicants (residing in Canada with valid study permits) to submit "proof of academic standing from last two periods of study" but it is not required that the applicant is "currently enrolled" or "enrolled during the immediate previous semester"?
