A valid study permit is a mandatory document for an international student pursuing studies in Canada. However, there are times when a student takes longer than the stipulated time to complete his/her program of study. Also, there are occasions when the students transfer to a program of study that has a longer duration. Here, the need for study permit extension might arise.
The following are two circumstances in which an international student needs to extend the Study Permit in Canada:
To avoid any hassle, it is highly recommended to apply for the extension at least 3 to 4 months before the expiry of the current Study Permit.
While your Study Permit is still valid, you can apply for an extension. The major drawback of applying for extending a student visa closer to the expiry date of your permit is that you will be on “implied status.” It means you can neither work nor study once your current study visa expires. You will be left with only two choices:
For a Canadian Study Permit extension, the international student must electronically apply for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Please be advised to submit your application online unless otherwise specified. The Government of Canada prefers temporary resident applications from within Canada to be made electronically. These applications are the ones:
You need to fill and validate the required forms. Include the necessary supporting documents along with the application fees, and send the package to the authorized mailing address of IRCC.
When applying for an extension of your Study Permit, you must pay $150 as your application fee. You can always check the updated fee structure at www.canada.ca
The processing time for a Study Permit extension is approximately 71 days. However, you can check the standard time for the processing of your application at www.canada.ca
If an international student is seeking to extend the study permit, then he should have:
Suppose a student aspires to continue his/her studies in Quebec after their CAQ expires. In that case, they must apply for a new CAQ from the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion (MIDI).
Once your study permit extension is approved, you must continue complying with the following requirements to maintain the validity of your visa:

Many thanks for your assistance and keep up the good work.nimra arif2024-02-21I highly recommend CanOz Visa Services because they are really helpful and they are doing excellent job. I got my PR this year and the entire process was completed in just 6-7 months. The process was so smooth just because of them, especially Harsimrat who provided invaluable support. Her guidance is really appreciated. I am really happy and fully satisfied with their services. If anyone is planning to immigrate to Canada or Australia, I strongly suggest reaching out to them from the very beginning. They truly provide world-class services. Thank you Harsimrat for all the efforts. I am really grateful. :)Shuja Rahman2024-02-10Bakhash was immensely helpful with our work visa process to Australia 🔆, from the time we called until the end he helped us throughout the whole process and made it very simple and clear. CanOz staff were very polite and accommodating. This is the person you want to go to if you want to get things done quickly and efficiently without any hassles. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, thank you so much!Tiegan Murphy2024-02-03Could not have asked for a better experience working with CanOz! Bakhash was there to answer questions every step of the way and made the whole process of getting our Australian PR so seamless. We couldn’t recommend him or this company more. If you are thinking of immigrating to Australia, this is absolutely the company you need to work with! Thank you Bakhash, for making our dreams come true!Arjun R'Krishnan2024-02-03My Australian PR application took about 5 years to reach an outcome. It was a bit of a complicated case and I might have lost hope had Baksh not been my migration agent. By the time I got introduced to Baksh I had already tried a couple of popular agents and got frustrated by the lack of transparency they demonstrated. Baksh was the polar opposite to those money grabbers. He was always clear with his suggestions, had excellent knowledge of the system and his advice helped navigate through complexities with so much ease. The payments were always discussed and was clarified too. An absolute gem of a professional. By the time I received 2 invites in 2022, I trusted Baksh's recommendation and opted to go for 189 albeit being more complicated than a 491. I am so glad I did. I cannot recommend Baksh and Canoz enough.
