FAQ - Answer

How do I obtain an extension of my Study Permit?

This is usually no problem. You do not need to leave the country. You just have to make sure you give yourself enough time before your Study Permit expires, allow up to six weeks for the Study Permit extension to be processed.

Phone your nearest Canada Immigration Call Centre in Canada at least two months before the expiry of your Study Permit, to obtain an application in the mail.
