Hi..so I am going to outline here my situation before and how I was granted a new visa without reapplying one.
1. I was granted a visa and a study permit approval last November 2019.
2. I was supposed to take the September 2020 intake but opted to defer my studies for 2021.
3. My visa was to expire on July 21, 2021 so in February 2021, I asked IRCC via the webform if I could travel earlier than July 2021. Unfortunately, they did not allow me to travel more than a month bfore the intake.
3. I was told by IRCC via e-mail that they deactivated/cancelled my visa due to deferral of my intake. However, they just kept my study permit application open.
4. They told me to contact them a month before September because the “might” issue a new visa and told me I dont have to reapply for a new one
5. I told them I will travel in the Philippines by June, so they told me to contact them a month before my travels in the Philippines
6. Last week of April, I contacted them again.
7. After the next working day, I received a passport request in my gc-key
8. I was re-issued a new visa.
hope that helps..k

I was supposed to start in September 2021 intake, but it’s deferred to September 2022 intake and my study permit has been granted.
When do you think I should inform the IRCC about the deferral ?
However, I haven’t got the new letter of acceptance from the college.
Thanks for your information
