Hello everyone!
I have a question (I'm really confused) I submitted my application (common law sponsorship) this month. I am an international student, and my last semester is this coming fall. Once I get the OWP (I sent it with my application), will I still be allowed to study? Does my study permit remains valid even when I get the OWP from my sponsorship application? Would I have two status ?

1. One permit will invalidate the another. You can't have two status at the same time.
2. You can study with OWP as long as the course is less than 6 months in duration.

That means that I will be able to do my last semester cause it will be only 4months?. I have the summer off and come back on Fall to do the last one.

No - you can't. That will be illegal. The total duration of the program must be six months or less. You need a study permit to complete your studies since the total duration of your program is greater than six months. Alternatively you can wait until you have PR to complete your program.
