A Guide to Study Permit Extensions in Canada (Source Immigration)

Continuing your educational journey in Canada? Source Immigration can help you navigate the process of extending your study permit.

Why Extend Your Study Permit?

There are several reasons you might need to extend your study permit:

  • Your program is longer than expected: Sometimes, unforeseen circumstances can extend your studies. A permit extension ensures you can complete your program legally.
  • You’re planning a co-op program or internship: If your program includes a co-op or internship that extends beyond your current permit validity, a timely extension application is crucial.
  • You want to switch programs: If you decide to pursue a different program at the same designated learning institution (DLI), an extension application allows a smooth transition.

Key Points to Remember:

  • Apply in advance: Aim to submit your application at least 30 days before your current study permit expires. This ensures continued study authorization while your application is processed.
  • Eligibility requirements: Generally, you must be a full-time student at a DLI with a valid passport and proof of financial support to meet living expenses.
  • Online application: Applications are submitted electronically through the IRCC website using a GCKey or Sign-in Partner account. Source Immigration can guide you through the process.

Documents You’ll Likely Need:

  • Completed and signed application form (IMM 5709)
  • Proof of enrollment from your DLI for your extended study period
  • Valid passport or travel document
  • Proof of financial support to cover your living expenses
  • Medical exam results (if applicable)
