Yes, consider your study permit as it never got expired. You can study and work until the grades get out. But you still have to wait for your study permit extension application to be approved to apply for PGWP else if you apply on maintained status, you won’t be able to work until your PGWP is approved
Study Permit Extension 2024

- Start date
Not yet, I haven’t received any update. I got in touch with local MP. So let’s see where that goes.
Good news! We received our approvals this week. As a reminder, we applied back in January. We called IRCC, not sure if that had anything to do with it... The agent only told us that our file was still waiting to be processed. Good luck!
Thank you! We applied almost by the end of January. Still, almost six full months of waiting. Now we are waiting for our physical permits to be delivered via mail. Good luck!
Hello! I was wondering if anyone can give me advise. I applied for student permit extension and sowp extension in the IRCC portal instead of the IRCC Secure Portal. Should we submit a totally new one through IRCC Secure Portal? because the SOWP got rejected as it looks like it was treated as a totally new application.
Last I remember it is given on their official website for extension applications, to apply through IRCC Secure account portal and not through IRCC portal else the application may be rejected.
Hello everyone,
First, I want to extend my gratitude to the wonderful people at Cohen for hosting this incredible forum!
Context: I completed my one-year postgraduate program at X College in May 2024 and returned to my home country in June 2024. My second program at Y College starts in September 2024. My Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is valid until September 30, 2024, and my study permit is also valid until September 30, 2024. I have applied for an extension of my study permit for the new program, but it is still being processed. I plan to return to Canada in August i.e next month and have some quick questions:
Queries regarding reentering Canada:

Queries regarding reentering Canada:
- My TRV is valid until September 30. Is it acceptable to enter Canada with approximately a month remaining on my TRV?
- My old study permit is valid until September 30, and I am awaiting the extension for my new program. Is it permissible to reenter Canada with or without the extended study permit?
- Are there any other factors I need to consider, such as medical requirements or other documents, when reentering Canada?
Hi,
I agree, this forum has been great in coordinating with others, thank you Cohen Immigration Law.
To answer your question,
1. You may be allowed to enter Canada as a student or as a visitor (It all depends on the CBSA Officer). Source: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1309&top=15 (I know it is for PGWP but would also be applicable for your case)
2. It is preferable to enter Canada with a new study permit, but as long as your current one is valid, you can enter.
3. No, you should be fine.

Hello Sir
Thank you so much for your response. I would just ask a quick return question and rest my case.
I applied my study permit extension, a few weeks after I left Canada. I did not realize that I will be technically applying outside Canada. But in my application, I have given my Canadian address and all the required documents. Do you think there will be an issue ? Appreciate!
