Extend Study Permit

A study permit extension is a process that enables international students to remain in Canada and continue their education if their current permit is about to expire. It’s essential to apply for an extension before the existing permit expires to maintain legal status in Canada.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for a study permit extension, you must:

Be a Full-Time Student: You must be enrolled in a designated learning institution (DLI) and be a full-time student.
Maintain Valid Status: Your current study permit must be valid when you apply for an extension.
Be in Good Standing: You must be in good academic standing and making satisfactory progress in your studies.

Application Process

Gather Documents: Collect necessary documents, including:
- A copy of your current study permit
- Proof of enrollment in a DLI
- Evidence of sufficient funds to support yourself
- A letter explaining why you need to extend your study permit
Complete the Application: Fill out the appropriate application forms. You can apply online or on paper, but applying online is generally faster.
Pay Fees: Pay the required application fees.
Submit Application: Submit your completed application before your current study permit expires. It’s recommended to apply at least 30 days before the expiration date.
Processing Time: The processing time can vary, but students can remain in Canada under implied status while their application is being processed, as long as they applied before their permit expired.

Conditions After Extension

If your study permit is extended, ensure you:

Adhere to the conditions of your study permit, including remaining a full-time student and studying at a DLI.
