🧾 What Is a Study Permit Extension?

A Study Permit Extension allows current international students in Canada to legally stay and continue their education if their existing permit is about to expire. You must apply at least 30 days before your current permit expires — but IRCC recommends doing it 90 days in advance to avoid disruptions.

🔁 What Is Study Permit Restoration?

If your study permit has already expired, and you didn’t apply to extend it in time, you may still be eligible to restore your status — but only within 90 days of losing status.

Restoration is not guaranteed. You must:

• Provide a valid reason for not applying earlier

• Show that you’re eligible to continue studies

• Include proper documents, proof of enrollment, and fees

📌 Restoration does not apply if you’re more than 90 days past your permit expiry or if you’ve violated conditions (e.g., worked without authorization).

✅ What’s New in 2025 – IRCC Updates You Should Know

As of June 2025, these are the latest changes affecting study permit extension and restoration applicants:

🔹 Streamlined Online Portal

All extensions and restorations must be submitted online through the new IRCC portal. Paper applications are no longer accepted for this category.

🔹 New Fee Structure

The current IRCC fee for a Study Permit Extension is $150 CAD, and Restoration of Status requires an additional $229 CAD (total $379 CAD). Payment must be done online with valid documentation uploaded.

🔹 Proof of Continued Enrollment is Crucial

Your school must issue a Letter of Continued Enrollment confirming your program of study, expected completion date, and that you’re in good academic standing.

➡️ Cosmic Immigration helps you communicate effectively with your institution to secure all required documents.

🔹 Medical Exams May Be Required

If you’re extending your stay beyond 6 months and are from a designated country or involved in healthcare, IRCC may request a new medical exam.

🔹 Processing Time

Average IRCC processing time for study permit extensions and restorations in 2025 is 2 to 3 months. You may remain in Canada under implied status while your extension is in progress.
