Study Permit Services – Applications, Extensions & Change of College
Canada remains one of the most sought-after destinations for international students seeking quality education and future opportunities. To study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada, international students must hold a valid study permit. In addition to initial applications, students may also need to extend their permits or change their institutions during the course of their academic journey.
Study Permit Application
A study permit authorizes international students to pursue academic, professional, or vocational training at a Canadian DLI. Applicants must demonstrate genuine intent to study, sufficient financial support, and ties to their home country. A well-prepared application enhances the likelihood of approval and minimizes processing delays.
Study Permit Extension
Students whose study programs extend beyond the expiry of their initial permit must apply for a study permit extension before the current permit expires. Maintaining valid status is essential to remain in Canada legally and continue studying without disruption. Extensions require current proof of enrollment, satisfactory academic progress, and updated financial documents.
Change of College or Program
Students may change their college or program for various reasons, including academic fit, career goals, or institutional issues. It is mandatory to notify IRCC and ensure the new institution is a DLI. Failure to follow proper procedures can jeopardize legal status in Canada. Assistance with these transitions ensures compliance and peace of mind.
FAQs
Can a student continue studying while the extension application is being processed?
Yes. If the extension is submitted before the current permit expires, the student is considered to be on “maintained status” and can legally continue studying and residing in Canada.
Can a study permit be extended if the student has failed or repeated courses?
Yes, but academic progress and valid justification must be shown. Supporting documents, including transcripts and explanation letters, are essential.
What happens if a study permit expires before applying for an extension?
The student loses legal status and must apply for restoration within 90 days. Legal advice is strongly recommended in such cases.
Can a study permit be applied for from within Canada?
Yes, in many cases. For example, those with valid status as a visitor, worker, or student may be eligible to apply from inside Canada.
