Hi! I'm new to the forum and I had two question to ask. So I'm studying in ICM Manitoba and I have a 1 year Study visa and permit which both expire November 30th 2013. I have two questions. First is, could I go back home to Turkey in mid august and come back the beginning of September (during break) with the same permit and visa? It'll still have 2 months on it. Would there be any problem? Second question is, what are my chances of renewing my visa/permit? I have no relatives in Canada,all my family is back home, my dad owns his own firm, I travel to different countries in my free time and I want to study genetics in U of M. How is the renewal procedure? I didn't apply for my visa the first time someone else helped me with it. Ill apply for renewal September the day I get back. 2 months should be enough time. Thank you so much!
