work permit - to work and study in canada
Hello,
I am currently living in Canada on a work permit and have been here for the past year. I am hoping to extend my stay for a couple of years.
At the moment I am considering doing a Distance Learning or part time Masters course really just as a self improvement thing. My current work permit stipulates that I am not permitted to study in Canada - do you know what the rules are surrounding this, and whether I can have it changed so I can work and study in Canada?
Also does anyone know anything about the rules of being an international student, both home and abroad?
After doing some research I think I am classed as a Int. student in England, therefore I would have to pay a much higher cost for the degree. In Canada I am sure that I am classed as an international student also.. seems a bit unfair.
If anyone has any advice/ knowledge of these issues I would be very grateful for your input.

I am pretty sure that it means you cant go to school in canada. If you chose to study by distance learning from the UK then its not going to school

Re: work permit - to work and study in canada
my work permit states
i wonder... is there even a possibility to get an authorization for one of this stuff?
i mean, given that there are some evening classes at the local college - like pottery or an introduction to literature - which aren't related in any way with my work but which would be fun to attend... i wouldn't be allowed to attend them
unless authorized, prohibited from attending any educational institution and taking any academic, professional or vocational training course
