What to do for a Study permit while on an SOWP

[ameorko]

I'm here on my husbands TWP, we have applied for our PR via CEC and I would like to do a one year course at the local college. I called the college and they said as long as I have an open work permit I can study and not be classed as an international student. My question is if I apply for a study permit would I loose my open work permit? I would still like the option of being able to work part time while studying. I am not in employment at the moment. Is this possible or what would happen?

1. You need a study permit if taking a course for duration of 6+ months. You can't hold both OWP & SP together.
