Hi,
I have a valid study permit, an off-campus work permit, and I received a job offer.
Now a positive LMO was issued, and I was wondering if I can apply for the work
permit right away, or should I rather wait till I'm done with school.
I found some posts saying that you can't have both work and study permits, that one
voids the other.
But the FAQ says something different:
www(dot)cic(dot)gc(dot)ca/english/information/faq/study/
(bold is mine)
So, if I apply right away and get a work permit, will I lose my study permit?
Or will the work permit application be denied? And if so, does it mean
it invalidates the LMO and I need a new one?
Thanks!

If you are not eligible or do not want to work under a student-related
work permit program (such as the Off-Campus Work Permit Program,
On-Campus Work Program, Post-Graduation Work Permit Program,
or Internship/Co-op Program), you can apply for a work permit to work in
Canada during or after your studies under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
