Study Permit & Protected Persons

Hello,
I am a protected person and got accepted into a 4 year program in a university in Ontario, I know that I am eligible for OSAP but I wonder if I need a study permit since my work permit states that I am not allowed to attend any educational institution!

Thank you so much for your help.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

According to the CIC Website in the Study permits: Refugees and protected persons section, in most cases, you must obtain a study permit if you want to study in Canada.

We suggest that you may want to contact the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre directly for some additional information.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
