Hell Guys,
Can international students with valid study permit and TRV who for some reasons do not want to work under a student related work permit programme such as:
1.the off-campus work permit programme
2.the on-campus work permit programme
3.the internship/ co-op programme,
apply for a work permit during or after their studies under the Temporary Foreign Worker Programme inside Canada?
A friend of mine just told me it's possible and he has read it somewhere on the CIC website but couldn't give me the link.
So I humbly want to know if it's really true and if someone has any clue about this .
your response would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, it's possible to change your conditions from student to worker if you have an employer with a positive LMO, a job offer and are qualified for the job. However, you cannot be both a student and a temporary foreign worker in this program. You are one or the other.
 
Thanks rjessome,
But can I change the status from student to the TFW whilst in canada (inside canada) without any difficulties if I should get a full time job offer and all the other requirements?

Yes, you apply to Vegreville under New Employer stream. If you meet all of the requirements, there shouldn't be any difficulties.
