Hi Everyone,
I would appreciate if someone could answer my question. I have applied fr my PR Visa (Permanent Resident ) for me and my family which will materialize by 2014 hopefully. My son wants to apply for a Study Permit as an International Student in case our PR doesn't come by Sept, 2014. The deadline for applying for the Fall session is Jan, 2014.

My question is that can he apply as an International Student for the Study Permit while a PR application is in process. Is there any restriction on the OUAC website ( for Ontario Universities )which FORBIDS application as a Foreign Student if your Permanent Residency application for Canada is in process. Or do any of you have any idea whether universities in Canada will let people allow to apply as a foreign student when there PR application is in process. I mean to say is there any clause or condition which says that If yr PR is in process do not apply as a foreign student.

Awaiting your quick reply
thanks.

1. No such rules. It's called 'dual intent'. SP will not be refused based on dual intent factor if you able to satisfy VO that you will leave Canada post authorization period.

It won't be a problem. They cannot make a decision based on ur pr file. The decision has to be on student file.

It has nothing to do with your PR application.
But you need to show strong ties to home country definitely.

Good Luck.
