Studying while on PGWP

[ahm756]

Hi,

I have a post-graduation work permit and I want to extend my education by studying for a Master's degree. From what I've researched, this requires a study permit. Is this true? If so, if I get a study permit, what effect will it have on my PGWP? Will it stop me from working full-time and getting work experience for CEC?

It is usually either or when it comes to study permit or WP.

So you mean that if I study on PGWP, I cannot work and vice versa?

Yes you either work or study unless you take a program that is less than 6 months.
