Quitting job before COE submission to language school?
by starwagon1 on Apr 12, 2026
I’m in the process of applying to a language school for the October 2026 intake, and I’ve submitted my documents and so far so good. I’m thinking about quitting or changing my job before or during the COE process. The work is getting really hard to deal with, but I’m worried it could cause issues with the application.
I’m self-funded from Canada and have enough savings, so finances aren’t the problem. I’m just not sure if changing job would affect my application. Not sure if it would make my application "high risk" or something. I’m also probably going to find a part time job in the meantime (so I can actually have time to study).

Just went through this. I’m from Canada too. From my knowledge they don’t care about your current job, As long as you have the funds to support yourself here (I sent a screenshot of a bank account that shows I can easily support myself with that money) but they do tell you not to do anything drastic like book flights until you get the actual visa. So do keep that in mind. Feel free to ask any other questions you have.
