Hi Group members -I am on closed work permit-ICT, planning to pursue to online masters degree to enhance CRS scores. On work permit, condition is listed you can't study while being on work permit, but on contrary distance learning courses is allowed outside canada.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/study-permits/other-considerations.html

Since by definition distance learning does not require one to be in Canada, a study permit cannot be issued for this type of course. For example, if a foreign national authorized to work in Canada is prohibited from engaging in studies as per a condition of their work permit, they are allowed to engage in distance learning courses.

Wanted to check can i claim points for these distance studies and work experience later in express entry application?

What it will be counted as part time or full time MBA?

Any recommendation from US/UK universities where i can pursue degrees?
