Hey so my situation including several others was kinda different. My study permit was ending on nov 25th. Which is like 30 days extra since my final semester was gonna end on aug 31st. But I needed 1 more semester so ideally I would need to extend my study permit till March of 2021 since the semester would end in December.
Now I'm in quebec so I need to extend caq as well but the govt extended everyone's caq till Dec 31st automatically and rejected any redundant extension application. So I applied for study permit extension straight away. Ideally I should have gotten extension till March but for some reason everyone in my specific situation got till 31st December only. I contacted ircc but they gave me no answer. So if you were in the same situation as me I don't think the SP extension will get approved. I didn't apply for extension but fortunately I got my completion letter in time to apply for pgwp.
When is your final semester? If it's winter 2021 or later I think you should be able to get extension like normal. I think it was people like me who were graduating in dec 2020 with extension got fucked over.
Hi,
It seems that my situation is kinda different.
I’m in Toronto actually. My current study permit will expire on August 31st 2021, which is the same as date on which I will finish my study. As a result, I won’t get enough time to apply for PGWP because I won’t receive my final transcript until the end of September. I’m wondering if I can apply for study permit extension before my current study permit expires. I read the official website and know I could apply for a visitor record. But I could not work if I’m not holding a study permit. So applying for a visitor record is not a good option for me.
So I’m wondering if I could apply for the study permit extension with an explanation letter saying that I need additional time to apply for PGWP even though I will actually finish my study by August.
Hope you could give me some advice on it! Many thanks!
