Overview

If you want to continue studying in Canada after your study permit expires, you need to apply to extend it. You should apply at least 30 days before your current study permit expires to maintain your status. If you apply on time, you can continue studying under the same conditions until a decision is made on your extension application. This is called 'implied status.' Our team ensures your extension application is complete and submitted on time to avoid any gaps in your legal status in Canada.
