Study Permit Services – Applications, Extensions & Instutional Change
Canada continues to attract students from around the world with its high academic standards, diverse culture, and post-graduation opportunities. To study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada, international students must obtain a valid study permit. Our office provides end-to-end legal support not only for initial applications but also for permit extensions and transitions between institutions or programs.
Initial Study Permit Application
A study permit grants authorization to pursue full-time education at a recognized Canadian institution. Approval is contingent upon demonstrating a genuine intent to study, sufficient financial means, and clear ties to the home country. A professionally prepared application reduces the risk of refusal and ensures faster, smoother processing. We help you build a strong case from the start — from admission letters to financial and personal documentation.
Study Permit Extension
If your academic program continues beyond the expiry of your current permit, you must apply for an extension before the permit expires. Remaining in Canada with valid status is essential to avoid legal complications and maintain uninterrupted studies. Extension applications must include updated proof of enrollment, academic performance, and financial capacity. We handle the process proactively, ensuring timely submission and compliance with IRCC requirements.
Change of College or Program
Students may wish to transfer to a different college or switch programs for better academic alignment, personal circumstances, or future career goals. If you choose to change institutions, you must notify IRCC and confirm that the new school is a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). Improper transitions can lead to a loss of status. We offer legal guidance to ensure your transfer is smooth, timely, and fully compliant with immigration regulations.
FAQs
Can I continue studying if I have applied for an extension but haven’t received a decision yet?
Yes. If your extension application was submitted before your current permit expired, you are considered to be on maintained status. This allows you to remain in Canada and continue studying legally while waiting for a decision.
Can I extend my study permit if I have failed a course or repeated a semester?
Yes. You may still be eligible for an extension, but you must provide a valid explanation and demonstrate continued academic progress. Supporting documents such as transcripts, enrollment letters, and an explanation letter are critical in such cases.
What if my study permit expires before I submit an extension application?
If your permit has already expired, you must apply for restoration of status within 90 days. During this period, you cannot study or work until your status is restored. Prompt legal assistance is strongly recommended to avoid further complications.
Can I apply for a study permit from inside Canada?
In many cases, yes. If you are currently in Canada with valid temporary status (e.g., as a visitor, worker, or student), you may be eligible to apply for a study permit from within the country, depending on your circumstances.
5. What is a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), and why does it matter?
A Designated Learning Institution (DLI) is a school approved by a provincial or territorial government to host international students. Transferring to a non-DLI may affect your legal status and future immigration options.
