Hi,
I am Abhishek Chakraborty and currently, I am studying Masters in Electrical Engineering at Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec. Recently I shifted my living apartment and at the time of shifting, I lost my study permit. Then I searched through the internet about what can be done if study permit is lost and found out the procedure about how to replace it. So I downloaded the imm5009e form, filled it up, made 30$ CAD payment, arranged all other documents and put all those documents in an envelope and sent it to the address given in the website. After 2 days, I found that one of the representatives from the immigration office received my document. In the website, I found that it will take a maximum of 1 month to get back my study permit. They should send the duplicate hard copy of my study permit to my address. I should get an email when they will start to process my application. I sent my docs on 20th June and today is 15th July, but still, I haven't got any email from them. After 1 week, I have an India trip(22nd July) and I will come back from India on 19th August. My question is that if I don't get my study permit before 22nd July, then at the time of coming back from India, will they issue my study permit at the port of entry? What kinds of problem I can face if I cant show my original study permit at the port of entry while coming back from India? I am expecting your replies as soon as possible.

You should be good as long as you are having a valid TR VISA stamp on your passport.

Thank you so much for your reply. I have a valid Canada visa and it will expire in August 2021. Study permit will describe the purpose of my staying in Canada. I have the soft copy of my study permit and I will take the print out of that one and will show at the port of entry while coming back from India. I am worried thinking of that if I can't show the hard copy(the original one) of my study permit at the port of entry, I can face some problems. Plese help me with some proper information.

If you will search old posts in the forum, you will get same information.


In addition to your photocopy of old study permit , you should take up all relevant documents which proves that you applied for replacement of lost document. You should be good.,

good luck !

Hey, call the verification of status office in canada. Tell them about your situation. They will just re-print the document and send it to you within a month. No need to apply for duplicate. If you have already paid for the duplicate document tell them on call that you want a refund.
