Dear [requester], Tam writing to seek clarification regarding the interpretation of the "place of application" as referenced in: Sections R197 to R199 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) concerning work permits, and Sections R213 to R215 of the IRPR concerning study permits, Could you please confirm whether the "place of application” mentioned in these regulations is equivalent to the physical location of the applicant at the time of submitting the application? For instance, would an applicant be eligible to apply online for a work permit under R197 (outside Canada) while physically located in Canada?

as referenced in the "How to Apply" sections for both study permits and work permits, — : Could you clarify whether these terms refér to the applicant's physical location (ic., being physically inside or outside Canada) at the time of application submission? Alternatively, do these terms correlate with the applicable regulations — where "outside" corresponds to R213 (study permits) and R197 (work permits), and "inside" corresponds to R215 (study permits) and R199 (work permits)? Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. I look forward to your guidance on this matter. [NAME REDACTED] [requester] coss74
