What Our Students Say

Extending Study Permits

Your study permit allows you to legally study in Canada. Make sure you know when your study permit expires. If your study permit is due to expire before you complete your program, you will need to apply for an extension to be able to continue studying in Canada. The best time to submit your request to extend your study permit is two to three months prior to the expiry date of the current one.



For more steps and information on how to extend your study permit and the documents required, view the Extending Your Study Permit Online.pdf guide.
