My work permit conditions

[Nazinadri]

Hello
I applied for PGWP and I received an Open Work Permit a few days ago.
In the conditions section it says:
Unless authorized, prohibited from attending any educational institution
OR
taking any academic, PROFESSIONAL or vocational , training courses.

Does it mean I can not take ANY courses? Or can I take online courses with a duration of less than 6 months to get certification for my job?

You can take any courses that takes less than 6 months you don't even need a student permit for those.

Thanks a lot

If you’re already in Canada
No. If you’re already in Canada, you don’t need a study permit for a course or study program that lasts 6 months or less. You must get a study permit if you want to study for longer than 6 months.
