I did my masters from 2012-2014 and then worked for 2 years on STEM OPT in US. What would be my residency status on OPT for canada Immigration Express Entry while on OPT STEM after graduating. Is it "Work Permit" or "Study Permit" ? I am confused because technically OPT STEM also comes under F1 Student Status. Urgent help needed!

Unless you've applied for something you have no status since you've been gone since 2014. I am correct in understanding you did a masters in Canada?

No, I did masters in US and asking about status in US. This is for Personal History in Express Entry Profile
