Study Permit Extension Refused

[Gurinder1998]

My leave was authorized by my college. My surgery was in 2020 and i had a doctor certificate which stated that i can not travel outside India for 12 months due to medical condition. I updated my college and IRCC time to time using webforms and doctor certificates. I applied for study permit in 2020 December online and started online studies in Jan 2021 and stopped studies when my application was rejected in January 2022. Then, i applied again and again they rejected me thrice and then i got approved in March 2023 and entered Canada second time for my final semester. My study permit was valid from March 2023 to December 2023. Thanks for your help. I will just try to apply one last time for PGWP outside Canada for a chance

You can try but your studies were in 2021 which has nothing to do with surgery in 2020. The issue is not the online studies but that you took over a year off. You have too many breaks. You cannot do that and be eligible for PGWP.

I had kidney Transplant which is not a small surgery it’s life threatening so, it has a lot to do with my return to India and leave from my studies

You were under Maintained status until the day you left Canada on Feb 03rd 2024. Usually if you are under implied status, applied from within and decides to leave Canada during that period, your application will be rejected. Decision to leave prior to final determination of your pgwp while on implied status was the reason why you were declined.

Thanks for info. Do you have any source of this information any information on IRCC website any link. That would be great help. So, should i apply from outside Canada right?

Hello everyone, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek guidance and advice regarding my study permit extension application. I am an international student currently enrolled in the Interactive Media Design program at Algonquin College.

I began my studies in January 2022 in the Web Development and Internet Applications program. However, due to personal circumstances, including mental stress from finding out I was adopted, I took two terms off (which in hindsight was such a mistake) and switched programs to Interactive Media Design in January 2023. This transition was challenging, and my grades suffered as a result. I failed two classes, one of which I failed twice, in my first two terms. However, I have worked hard to improve my academic performance, and my grades have significantly improved in the third level. I'm technically in the fourth level now but due to the previous failed classes, I'm slated to end my studies either at the end of the year or at the end of the first term next year.

I applied for the extension on January 24th, 2024, as my current permit was set to expire on March 20th, 2024 (today). Approximately two weeks after applying, I received a request for additional documents, including education transcripts, travel history, and an explanation letter detailing my academic progression, outlining if there are any gaps, withdrawals, deferrals, or failed classes.

Unfortunately, I did not see this request until after the deadline to provide the documents had passed. However, I have since submitted all required documents today (I ha to make request from my school for my official transcripts and I was told they had sent it directly to the third party which would be the IRCC in this case). While my application has not been rejected yet, I am concerned that it may be due to my previous academic struggles as well as not providing the documents within the timeframe.

I am reaching out to this forum for guidance on how to proceed. Should my study permit extension be rejected, I would like to explore alternative options to continue my studies in Canada. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hopefully you are approved. If not, you will have to stop studying and working immediately and then apply to restore your status. If you are in fact refused, consider hiring an immigration lawyer to help you with the restoration application. Good luck.

Thank you! In your opinion, do you think if I apply to restore my status and I give all the required documents, would there be a good chance of me being accepted or is the academic performance too big an issue?

I can't tell you one way or the other.

It will depend on many different things including the officer who processes your application, if you took an authorized or unauthorized leave from your school, if you worked at all while not attending school, what evidence you provide to support your reasons for dropping out of school, etc.

Okay, thank you for your input!

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm confused and panicking. My study permit is expiring in December 31st 2024, and I submitted a study permit extension on 3rd August 2024. I just received a message saying:

"The DLI that you listed in your study permit application did not verify your letter of acceptance within the required timelines, following receipt of your application by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, as required by the Ministerial Instructions. Therefore, in accordance with the Ministerial Instructions, your application is closed and your processing fees will be refunded as the application will not be processed. Please note that refunds may take between 6 to 8 weeks."

The application was withdrawn, and it basically feels like i'm back to square one of waiting.

What does this mean? Is this a mistake on my part somehow? From what I have read I need to submit another study permit extension application. Knowing that I have until December 31st 2024 to receive the extension, will I make it in time? How do I ensure this doesn't happen again?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I will be going to my university's international student advising office first thing tomorrow, but I would still like to hear if anyone has experienced this before.

Letter is very clear. Your DLI did not confirm LOA when asked to do so on time

The DLI that you listed in your study permit application did not verify your letter of acceptance within the required timelines, following receipt of your application by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, as required by the Ministerial Instructions

 

[Sean5960]

Ok, so I went to my university's advising office to clarify what went wrong. The advisors confirmed that they received the verification request, and responded with a verification of my status within 24 hours, which is well before the deadline. Despite this, IRCC still withdrew my application with a letter saying that my DLI did not respond in time. My university advisors have also told me that several other students are facing the same issue, and it is most probably an IRCC side system issue.

My university has written a supporting letter with details explaining that they did in fact receive the request at x time, and responded at x time, within the required time period. I used the IRCC webform to submit this letter for my withdrawn application, and gave IRCC a call to ask to begin the reconsideration process for my application. Alongside this, I also submitted a new study permit extension application with a letter of explanation detailing what happened, just to be thorough.

My problem now is, if my university says that they did in fact verify everything on time, but IRCC STILL sent me that withdrawal letter, what is stopping this from happening again to my new application? If my request for reconsideration doesn't work out, what's stopping this exact same "he said she said" situation from happening again? How do I ensure that for my new application, that this does not happen? I can easily reach out to my university to confirm that they have received IRCCs validation request and validated my status on time, but I can't think of a SINGLE way to ensure that IRCC has received my university's verification, since the operators at 1-888-242-2100 don't have access to the behind the scenes information. Any thoughts?
