What is study permit extension?
A study permit extension is a process by which international students in Canada can extend their permit to continue studying in the country beyond the original expiration date. The application process is time-consuming. It is important to note that meeting eligibility criteria does not guarantee approval of a study permit extension, as the decision is ultimately at the discretion of the immigration authorities.
Expiry & restoration of your student status
- You can apply online for an extension of your study permit.
- The DLI number of your college/university must be included with all applications.
- If you do not apply to extend your permit before it expires, you will only be eligible to regain your student status if you continue to meet the perquisites of your study permit.
- Make sure you apply within 3 months of the study permit’s expiration date.
- Until your application is reinstated, you are not allowed to resume your studies/your employment.
- If you violate the terms of your study permit, an official from IRCC or CBSA may ask you to leave Canada.
- Students should ask for a study permit extension at least 30 days before the current permit expires.
- Applicants must submit a completed application form and pay the required fees.
