Study Permit Extensions: Stay on Track with Your Education in Canada
Are you an international student in Canada looking to extend your study permit? At ICC Immigration, we specialize in study permit extensions, ensuring you remain legally in Canada while continuing your education. Whether your current permit is expiring soon or you need guidance on maintaining your student status, our experts are here to assist you.
What is a Study Permit Extension?
A study permit extension allows international students to legally continue their education in Canada if their current permit is set to expire. If you plan to stay in Canada for further studies, you must apply for an extension before your current permit expires.
When Should You Apply for a Study Permit Extension?
Before your study permit expires – Apply at least 30 to 90 days before expiration.
If your program duration has been extended – Ensure your study permit reflects the new completion date.
Before traveling outside Canada – If your permit will expire while you’re abroad, renew it before leaving.
If your passport is expiring soon – Your study permit cannot exceed the validity of your passport.
What Happens If Your Study Permit Expires?
If your study permit expires and you have not applied for an extension, you will be considered out of status. To restore your status, you must:
Apply for restoration of status within 90 days of losing status.
Pay the required restoration and renewal fees.
Stop studying until your permit is restored.
Failure to restore your status within 90 days may require you to leave Canada.

Be enrolled at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).
