hi folks,
Inland Common -law w/OWP app here. I was in CAN on study permit and received OWP a few weeks ago and started working shortly thereafter. I have also put in paperwork w my university to switch to part time studies. I have some writing left to do on a PhD (coursework, comprehensive exams, and data collection are done). Am I allowed to do that? If not, I have to call my school first thing tomorrow to cancel the processing of me switching to part time. I would have no problem with stopping my studies until I am a PR if that's what it would take.

For now, I have sent an e-mail to my university, explaining my situation and asking them to halt the processing of my part-time request.
