Study in Canada
Study permit renewal
Regulated consultant, RCIC R520189
An update or a new study permit from IRCC when the institution, the program or the conditions of stay change.
Processing time
About 12 to 20 weeks for an application submitted in Canada, depending on the type of change.
Estimate only, based on times typically observed with IRCC or MIFI. Times vary by visa office, application volume and file complexity. They are not a guarantee.
A change of designated learning institution, program or length of studies may require a new study permit application or an update of conditions with IRCC.
These steps must be completed before the current status expires, so that temporary resident status is not lost.
We identify the applicable procedure (extension, new permit, CAQ or PAL obligations) and prepare a file that follows IRCC instructions.
Document checklist
The detailed list of required documents and additional items is shared after a consultation, once your file is opened.
