Conversion of Canadian work permit to other visas
Currently, it is possible to convert your work permit into a Canadian study permit (Study Permit) or visitor visa (Canadian tourist visa) exists, of course, each of them has its own conditions, which are explained in this section:
· Convert work permit to Canadian study permit
Some people decide to apply to university when they are in Canada with a work permit. Fortunately, this conversion is possible, but it must be noted that the process must be done before the expiration of the work permit.
This is possible by getting admission from one of the prestigious Canadian universities and then getting a study permit. While doing things related to university admission, the applicant can work using his work permit; But if the person’s work permit expires at this time, he can stay in Canada until his educational status is determined, but he will no longer be able to work.
· Convert work permit to Canadian tourist visa
When the work permit renewal process takes a long time, some people decide to convert their work permit into a tourist visa. It can be done but note that the possibilities you have with a work permit will be much more than a tourist visa.
If your tourist visa expires, you will have to leave Canada. Also, if the expiration date of your work permit is close, it is not recommended to convert it into a tourist visa, and it is better to extend your work permit and use its benefits.
