Since you have already been approved for SP, so your application for visitor extension is now null & void. Your UCI number will have all details.

I think you need to go to the border to get the study permit by the approval letter. no need to wait for the extension.

As you mentioned the above issues, I am in the same process. Could you please help me on the process of applying for a study permit within canada and extend the visit visa as well.

Do I need to hire a lawyer or the process is straight forward which I can do myself.

Please advise.

Thank you

First of all, I did not use Visa to enter in Canada as a visitor because I'm from visa-exempt country. Secondly, to do my visitor extension, I did my extension at least 30days before my expiry date, thus, I gathered all necessary documents and I filled up all forms and finally applied by myself online via My CIC.

Well, regarding my Study Permit application, I also gathered all the documents and I filled up all the forms and everything, but for make it sure that I could be approved I used a representative (Immigrant Consultant). You can do forward by yourself but I'd suggest you get a lawyer or immigrant consultant as same as I did.

Thank you for your reply,,,,, If you filed your application to LA consulate, could you please tell me how long did it take for the study permit to be approved? How many weeks from you sent the application until you got approved.

Thank you so much :)
