Good day,

have a few questions regarding study permit regulations for students interested in short-term language courses before or after their primary program in Canada:

1. Tfa student holds a study permit for a high school program in Canada but wishes to take a short-term language course before their program starts, can they do so without obtaining a second study permit? Similarly, if they have completed their high school program but still have a valid study permit, can they enroll ina one- or two-month English course before retuming to their home country? In both cases, would they be permitted to study for less than six months without applying for a new study permit?

2. Ifa student enters Canada to study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), such as a private career college, would they be allowed to take a short-term ESL course at a different DLI (e,g., a language school) for ess than six months while waiting for their main program to begin?

3. Ifa student is enrolled in a fall-time program and wants to take an IELTS test preparation course for less than six months concurrently, would they need to apply for a second study permit, or would their existing permit be sufficient?

appreciate your guidance on these scenarios and look forward to your response. Best regards, 00958
