Please check the expiry date of your study permit as it is common for study permits to expire at the end of March. If you are in Canada and your study permit will be expiring at the end of March 2023, you will need to apply for a study permit extension before your permit expires to remain in Canada legally and to avoid interruptions in your studies. Detailed instructions for extending your study permit from inside Canada can be found at the links below: 

• Extending your Study Permit (in-Canada process only)
• Instruction Guide: Study Permit Extension Applications (in-Canada process only)
• Note: If you are currently outside Canada and have questions about extending your study permit please contact an International Student Advisor for further information on the appropriate process to follow.

If your passport is about to expire, you might need to renew your passport first then apply to extend your study permit. Please note that you wil still need to renew your study permit before its expiry. If you will not be able to obtain your renewed passport before your study permit expires, please follow the detailed guidance at the link below:

You can also review information on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website concerning how to proceed if you cannot provide all required documents for your study permit application.

If you have any questions about the above, please connect with an International Student Advisor, Immigration Specialist.
