Work Permit Holders in Canada Granted Study Flexibility
Exciting news for work permit holders in Canada!
Now, work permit holders can upgrade their skills, gain more knowledge, and even help those who need specific programs to validate their foreign credentials.
Previous Work Permit Process
Previously, foreign workers holding a work permit could undertake studies alongside their employment, but only if the program lasted for six months or less. To engage in longer educational courses, they were required to go through the lengthy process of obtaining a separate study permit, which could sometimes take months or even years to be processed.

Benefits Of The Work Permit Changes
One significant benefit of this change is that foreign workers or international students who engage in full-time studies while working in Canada can now include that work experience in their application for permanent residency through the Canadian Experience Class section of the Express Entry. This can help candidates increase their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, making them eligible for permanent residency. They can achieve this by pursuing higher education, improving their proficiency in French or English, or gaining qualifying work experience during part-time studies.
