apply for a study permit and Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will process the work permit as part of your application. You will not have to pay any additional fee for this Permit.
(ii) Applying after the beginning of your studiesYou will have to apply either online or on paper. The application package and procedures for this Work Permit are the same for the
