Applying for a Study Permit as a Refugee Claimant

[Moosa_Khan]

Hi Everyone, Me and my family are Refugee Claimants here in Canada and our claims have been forwarded to the RPD and we also got out work permits. I wanted to know if I have to apply for a study permit and where do I apply it from? Kindly help me in this regard.

Thanks

Hi Evan I wanted same information about the STUDY PERMIT. Can we have both WP and SP?

You can according to the web link here: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1618&top=15

Although on IRCC Secure Account it said that the study permit will replace the work permit. Tho Im pretty sure that you can have both. (Obviously if you have been handed a work permit by government of canada, they cant simply take it from you.)

Do let me know the answer to my question too if you can.

As a refugee claimants, you are entitle to receive a student permit it will not affect your work permit but keep in mind you will be paying international fees to the school. Now if you become protected refugees then you pay the same fee as Canadians. So it’s up to you. But you still need to be accepted in a school and get an acceptance letter in order to apply. Hope this help.
I will attach the link where you can get more info
