[requester] was an update on the front-end guidance from https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-
citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/apply.html noted (see screenshots below)
Until the March 28, 2025 update, a visitor inside Canada who does not meet eligibility to make an in-Canada application was
instructed that they may make an application outside of Canada while physically in [requester], the guidance suggests they
must leave [requester], | received guidance on March 8, 2025 that the practice of making a work permit (overseas) application as a visitor
inside Canada was possible (see REP 2024-2175 below).
Questions
1) Cana visitor still make a study permit application while inside Canada as an overseas application, or is this a change in
guidance?
2) Furthermore, can a visitor still make at work application while inside Canada as an overseas application, or is there a
possible change in this guidance pending, too?
Thank you!
