Does anyone know if I am allowed to study on a closed work permit or do I need to apply for a study permit as well? I was working full time but unfortunately lost my job last September. I have filed a grievance for unfair dismissal which is currently ongoing. . I am a registered Nurse and did make some mistakes but was also treated unfairly.. The college of Registered Nurses in Nova Scotia want me to re-do the Bridging course and then I can practice again. This course is mainly online. Does anyone know if I can do this without a study permit as it is online or do I need to get one? The course takes 14 months to complete and there are practical exams next year. On my closed work permit it states that I am not to study without authorization. However, on IRCC it states you can do distance learning courses without a permit. I'm not sure which to go by and am having trouble getting in contact with IRCC..

When does your work permit expire?

My work permit expires on July 20th 2022. The problem is that the Registered Nurses Professional Development centre (RNPDC) is not a Designated Learning Instituition (DLI). I first completed this course in 2016 IRCC gave me a one year visitors permit for this reason and said I could complete the course, but not work. RNPDC also say that their course are not eligible for study permits.
Thankyou for sending the link

Switch to visitor status maybe? You can't work on your work permit anyway, so it won't make much difference, but better to do that than risk doing something you're not supposed to on a work permit.

Good luck.

Thanks.That may be another option. Definitely better to be safe than sorry.
