Wrong Validity/ Expiry Date of Study Permit

[waikeiwong]

I have received my correspondence letter on 2021-07-21 and I have been notified that my application for the study permit was approved. However, I found my validity date and the date I must enter Canada is 2021-07-31 which only has 10 days left from the day I received the letter.

FYI I am applying for a one-year post-graduate program and the expiry date of my Passport is in 2024. I believe that my validity should be at least 12 months in order to finish my study in Canada, which should be by 2022-07-31 but not 2021-07-31.
I have already sent an enquiry to IRCC Webform but still haven't heard back. Does anyone experience the same situation and what should I do?

Use the app and speak with IRCC... they should be able to inform you if that was a mistake or you should enter Canada by July 31st of your TRV

Any other way to speak with IRCC overseas except webform?
I’m afraid that I can’t get on the plane or stop by the officers as the deadline is approaching…

• When did you apply for your SP?
• What date was on your LOA indicating when your program starts?
• What is the expiry date on your counterfoil (visa)? Is it the same as the date on your Letter of Introduction?

It's not advisable for you to travel until you resolve this.

I applied in mid of May.
My program starts at sep 2021 and predicts to end at April 2022.
My visa expiry day is 2024/07/08 is same with the eTA expiry day.

What does it say on the lines "date issued" and "expiry date" under the "additional information" printed on your study permit?

OK, so you didn't get a counterfoil (TRV). You are from a visa-exempt country right?
In your LOI, what dates are shown on this 2:

Validity (YYYY/MM/DD):
Must enter Canada by (YYYY/MM/DD):

I’m from Hong Kong. I only need POE to get in Canada.

 

[sb22651]

I’m from Hong Kong. I only need POE to get in Canada.

Then that means you have to enter Canada by 31-07-2021

 

[waikeiwong]

Then that means you have to enter Canada by 31-07-2021

But the validly will be expired by 31/7/2021 which also mean I cannot study in Canada after this day, right?

It's the validity of the letter. It's not a mistake.
