Hello,
I am an international student. I have a valid study permit which I got 1 month ago, and currently I am attending school in BC.
According to the new study permit rules ( http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2014-02-12.asp ) all study
permits issues from June will grant students work rights.
I was thinking of applying for an off-campus work permit, but under current laws I must study full-time for 6 months before applying for an off-campus work permit. So I was thinking of reapplying for a study permit in June so I can get the study permit and work permit at the same time.
Basically I want to avoid waiting 6 months and get work rights starting from June.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks
