This is not a way , after keeping someone's application upto 4-5 months , then they are saying we feel you do not need study permit . Apply for this this .......They are just looking at single aspect that is study , means they think study is done so no longer need of study permit but what about other things because with study permit usually international students all other documents also expire such as SIN number . Let's consider my situation , my SIN expired on 31 december 2019 , currently working under same employer , but if they cancelled my SP extension and saying applying for restoration and PGWP , ( that will come after 4-5 months).It means until that time I cannot renew SIN number , because to renew SIN , you must have valid permit ( study or work permit ).So I this situation I have to(stuck, because when employer knows this person cannot go anywhere ,because nobody gonna hire this person with expired SIN they start exploiting) work for same employer because if I will go for new job , new employer they will ask for VALID SIN number .Seems like nowadays IRCC just focusing on how to make money.
