Hello Miss Bee,

I have a question, I am currently on a PGWP and i want to confirm do i need to a study permit to take CPA PREP course? I contacted CPA Ontario and was told that i do not require a study permit
If CPA Ontario has confirmed that you do not need a study permit to take the CPA PREP courses, that is a reliable indication. However, it’s important to verify the situation in the context of Canadian immigration rules.
1. Study Permit Requirements: According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), you do not need a study permit if:
The course or program is less than 6 months in duration.
It is not part of a longer program requiring a study permit.
CPA PREP Courses: These are often considered short-term professional development courses. If the CPA PREP course you are enrolling in falls under this category and is not part of a full-length program requiring a study permit, you should be fine without one.
