study permit does not authorize holder work off campus

[prabhu gautam]

hi I am currently enrolled in a co-op diploma in a DLI in Vancouver. I had applied for a study permit within Canada after completing a short term course. Now I have got my study permit with a condition which seems to be a mistake of visa officer as it says that " THIS PERMIT DOES NOT AUTHORIZE THE HOLDER TO ENGAGE IN OFF CAMPUS EMPLOYMENT IN CANADA". I informed my college about it and they said that you are enrolled in an eligible program and as a full time student, you can work off campus. Additionally, all my classmates are allowed to work off campus on their study permit.
do I need to amend my study permit ? or I should apply for a new one ?
KINDLY REPLY TO THIS!

Amendment , don't do the change conditions thing .

I was in the same boat , was told I applied my study permit in a wrong manner and need to re-apply . lol

Later on I researched and found out there is no need to re-apply.

Just request amendment .

With regards to that , you can change your DLI.

But I am not sure if you will be able to transfer credits etc.

And your PGWP depends on the program that you will be completing, so if you apply under the new program, you will be considered for the duration of the eligible program only.

what to select in information to be amended section in amendment form

what to select in information to be amended section in amendment form

For questions 2 - 12
You only need to fill in information that needs to be changed. Do not complete any fields if the information is already correct on your study permit.

If you are requesting an amendment to indicate your work eligibility on your study permit, and you don’t require any other corrections, leave questions 2-11 blank. For question 12, indicate “Conditions/remarks regarding student work authorization.” You will then need to explain your request in “Part C”.



And in Part C ,

For question 1
Write “N/A” – it does not apply to you as a study permit holder.

For question 2
Write the following (as applicable):

• If you are a UBC degree- or diploma-seeking student: Please amend my study permit to reflect my eligibility to work on and off campus in Canada so that I may apply for a Social Insurance Number. I am a full-time, degree- or diploma-seeking student at the University of British Columbia. Thank you.
• If you are a non-degree-seeking student (e.g. Exchange, VIRS or Visiting Student): Please amend my study permit to reflect my eligibility to work on campus in Canada so that I may apply for a Social Insurance Number. I am a full-time student at the University of British Columbia. Thank you.
