Study Permit Extension

Study Permit Extension

Stay in Canada Legally While You Continue Your Studies

If you are an international student in Canada and your Study Permit is expiring, you must apply for a Study Permit Extension before it expires — otherwise you may lose your student status.

At Kayan Immigration Services Inc., we help students apply correctly and on time, so they can continue studying in Canada without interruption.

When Do You Need a Study Permit Extension?

You should apply for an extension when:

  • Your study program is taking longer than expected
  • You change your school or program
  • Your permit expiry date is approaching
  • You took an academic break or deferred your studies

It is strongly recommended to apply at least 30–90 days before expiry.

What Happens If Your Study Permit Expires?

If your permit expires before you apply:

  • You lose your student status
  • You may need to stop studying
  • You may need to apply for restoration of status
  • Delays can affect your PGWP eligibility

Applying correctly and on time is very important.

Documents Usually Needed for a Study Permit Extension

Depending on your case, you may need:

  • Valid passport
  • Current Study Permit
  • Recent enrollment / confirmation from your school
  • Transcripts or proof of academic progress
  • Updated financial proof
  • Explanation letter (if applicable)
  • CAQ (for Quebec students)

We help you prepare a complete and accurate application.

Maintained Status — What It Means

If you apply before your current permit expires, you may continue studying while your extension is being processed.
This is called Maintained Status (previously implied status).

But if you apply late, you must stop studying until status is restored.
