When you get your study permit apply for the visa with new study permit you will get your visa in maximum 2weeks. Believe me I and my friends got visa in just a week after study permit in canada

No problem it's valid but if flight delay or cancel or any other problem and your visa expired, on the air port , you are not allowed to enter in Canada so they will send yoy back to your home country from the airport. So Its risky!!! Your choice

If you have one day visa left they will allow you to enter Canada that will see your study permit and stamp on the passport. After you can apply for visa.

Did u received thehardcopy??? How long will it take to get the hardcopy at home
I applied on May 3rd and received the hardcopy on July 14th.Mine got further delayed because it got approved on Friday and Canada Post doesnt operate on weekends,so had to wait until Monday before it got mailed to me.
If yours gets approved on Monday or tuesday there is a high probablity you will receive it Friday.

Thank you so much...this news made me happy..that means that the updates shown on their website while checking application status that they are still working on applications received on april 28th is not correct.

Hello everyone, please I apply for study permit extension since September 2023 I have not received any response from the immigration officer. I was told I can flagpole but my permit had already expired but I have applied before it expired. Could you please advise?
