months’ duration or less [R128(1)(<)]. This exemption helps to facilitate access to short-term courses, regardless of their
subject matter. The course or program of study may be part-time or full-time and should be completed within the period
authorized upon entry (that is, up to 6 months). For more information, please consult: Study permits: Who needs a study

Hello, my names and my CICC membership number is
ootss7
have a question regarding study permit requirements for work permit holders (including PGWP holders). Under IRPR 188(1|(c), at foreign
period for their stay authorized upon entry into Canada."
Does this mean a PGWP holder can complete a 4-5 month course because they remain authorized to stay in Canada since their intial entry?
Additionally, work permit conditions often state:
“Unless authorized, prohibited from attending any educational institution, or taking an academic, professional, or vocational training course."
Does this mean a work permit holder cannot take any short-term course (less than six months) without a study permit? Or does it only
prohibit academic, professional, or vocational training unless they obtain a study permit first?
Could you please clarify how IRPR 188(1)(c) applies inthis context?
Thank you
