Eligibility to Extend a Study Permit:
  • Apply Before Your Current Permit Expires: You must apply to extend your study permit before your current permit expires. It's recommended to apply at least 30 days before your permit expires to allow for processing time.
  • Continue to Meet Study Permit Conditions: You must continue to meet the conditions of your initial study permit. This includes actively pursuing your studies at an eligible institution and maintaining full-time student status if required.
  • Proof of Financial Support: You need to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to support yourself during your extended stay in Canada. This could include bank statements, proof of scholarships or funding, and/or a letter of financial support.

Application Process:
  • Online or Paper Application: You can apply to extend your study permit either online through the IRCC website or by submitting a paper application (Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada as a Student - IMM 5709) to the IRCC office responsible for your region.
  • Required Documents:
    • Completed application form (IMM 5709).
    • Valid passport or travel document.
    • Letter of acceptance from your educational institution in Canada.
    • Proof of financial support.
    • Transcript or proof of academic progress.
    • Any additional documents specified based on your individual circumstances (e.g., medical exam results if applicable).
  • Biometrics and Medical Exams:Depending on your nationality and the length of your requested extension, you may need to provide biometrics (fingerprints and photo) or undergo a medical examination.
  • Processing Time:Processing times for study permit extensions can vary depending on the volume of applications and your specific circumstances. You can check the current processing times on the IRCC website.
Decision:
  • Confirmation of Extension: If your application is approved, you will receive a new study permit indicating the new end date of your authorized stay in Canada.
  • Travel While Application is Pending:You can remain in Canada while your application for extension is processed, even if your current study permit expires while you're waiting for a decision. However, you should not travel outside Canada during this time unless you have a valid multiple-entry visa or other authorization to re-enter Canada.
Important Notes:
  • Post-Graduation Work Permit Eligibility: If you are completing your studies in Canada, you may be eligible to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) after graduation. This allows you to work in Canada for a period equal to the length of your study program, up to a maximum of three years.
