help!live in caregiver to take CRPNE possible?

[scylla]

anyway,did you get study permit and studied while under LIC program?

If you get a study permit then it will cancel your LIC work permit. You can't hold the study permit and the work permit at the same time. So you have to pick one.

As Regina stated previously, live-in caregivers can study in Canada. The study permit will not cancel their work permit as practice shows. Actually, there is no such thing as one document cancelled by the issuance of another. As long as both documents are valid, one can continue working and studying at the same time. The issue of "picking" may arise when you apply for a TRV, in that case you have to pick if you want to apply for visa as a student or worker. Otherwise, I don't see why you have to pick anything.

I do not think you can have both : working permit and student permit. If you are on student permit you cannot just go and work anywhere you want without bothering to get proper working permit for working "off campus". The same story with studying when on working visa. You-on WP- can go and study "non-credit" courses or anything for your own fun and pleasure, but if you want to go to the university for some professional, vocational or academic certificate/diploma/degree you must apply for study permit , and because you cannot have both permits : working and student, you will have to"transfer" from working to student.

However, it case of topic starter if she wants to take a course or two to prepare for CRPNE I think it could be considered non-credit because she is not getting any diploma from the university. However, I would confirm that with CIC. You can call and ask them on phone without even telling them your name. You also can go to the university and ask them if they can to enroll you as a non-credit student for one or two courses.

People assume that they can't have both documents, but CIC doesn't prohibit having work and study permit at the same time. It says that a student can apply for an off-campus work permit after six months, but a year or so ago they also had information on their website that if a student doesn't want to wait six months he/she can apply for LMO. That information is gone now probably because it caused a lot of confusion, and now students have only part-time work options. However, it doesn't mean that a person with a closed work permit cannot apply for a study permit. Students have a constraint for how many hours they can work per week, but full-time workers don't have constraints and are allowed to study full-time provided they have a study permit.
