So here's my situation
I'm from Venezuela and came to Canada in September 2010 under a student permit valid 8 months. Went to an english school, took my TOEFL test, applied for a degree at a college, got accepted, renewed my study permit (which was granted for 1 and a half year) and started studying at a canadian college from september 2011. After that period of time, I reapplied for a renewal and got accepted again, this time for almost 2 years (Jan 2013 - november 2014). Now here's the problem. Up until last fall (2013) I've been studying in school non-stop, didn't take a single semester off, passed all my courses etc etc; but last fall I only took one course, mid throughout the semester I decided that I didn't like my field of studying and decided to drop it and wanted to apply to another university under another program in Canada (a 4 year degree). Since November/December I've been in Canada studying on my own for my TOEFL (it expires every 2 years so I needed to take a new one in order to apply to university). I'm taking it this week. Supposing I pass it and I get a letter of acceptance to start in September in this other university, what are my chances of getting my extension on my student permit? I'm really concern they are going to refuse my application on 'Illegitimate student' grounds because I'm basically taking a year off studying, still staying in Canada (No work though, legal nor illegal I haven't worked a single time in Canada) and the last semester I took in college I wasn't even a full time student and I dropped it.
Do you think I need to add anything extra on my application like a letter explaining why I took a year off? Would they even bother reading something like that?

ALSO, I have a canadian boyfriend. We have been together 2 and a half years and living together for almost one year. He proposed to me that IF (and that's a really big "IF") my permit got refused, he could sponsor me. I rather get my student permit on my own (I just like feeling like I did it on my own merit) but IF It did get refused, can I stay in Canada and still study while I apply for this new application? Will they think my relationship is not genuine because I'm applying right after they refused my application?

apply straight up.

copy paste the same thing onto your letter to the VO.

last paragraph can be omitted. VO is interested in your academic aspect not personal matters.

he should also be satisfied that you would return back to your country :)

Hi

I am international student I have similar problem.

I came canada on a work permit for six months after that I applied for study permit. but, unfortunately I did not get admisssion in my program before that they my college told me you can get admission withoput ielts test after that they told me you have to do ielts test with 6.0 bands and icas (international credential assessment service) for evaluation of your transcript for january term. we will give admission in 2nd semester of your program because my program resemblance with my prevoius program. But, unfortunately I got 5.5 bands in ielts test in the month of December but, I did ICAS for january term.

Finally, I did not get admission also for january term just because of ielts test score.

After that also, I missed my admission for january term for ESL in public funded college and now I am doing language course in one private institute but I am not satisfied this course because it is not esl it is about toefl or ielts practice test it is called college path way program.

Now, I have to wait for may term for esl course in public funded college.


I am so worried about my future and I am so upset and feeling home sickness. I want to go back home but someone told me in your case you can not come back canada again even if you have letter of acceptance in future, valid study permit and valid visa. Because you are not enrolled in any program for a long time in Canada.

But, it is not my fault and it is just happenned. How they can trust me?
for that my college told me if you show me the ticket we will give you letter why you did not get admission in college for september to january.


What do you think if I wil get this letter it works for me or not?


what are the chances to come back canada for september term.?



Please kindly help me and do my favour I this regards. I will be very grateful to you.

Thanks very much for your time.
