Study Permit Extension

As an international student, you must study with a valid study permit if your program is longer than six months. Your study permit can only be extended from inside Canada. You may also extend or apply for your co-op work permit while extending your study permit.

If you are holding a valid study permit and it’s not covering your entire time of study, you can apply for an extension. You may extend your study permit at least 90 days before it expires. You can’t extend your study permit beyond the expiry date on your passport.

If you apply before your permit expires, you can stay in Canada under the same conditions as your current study permit until you receive a decision from IRCC under implied status.
