I am an international student in Canada, and I will graduate by BSc Honor's soon in June 2024 and my study permit will expire on 31st July.
I planned to start my Masters in Fall 2024, but I was late and was only able to apply at 1 institution but got rejected. So I plan to apply for Winter 2025 or Summer/Fall 2025 admissions at multiple institutions.
My question is that I am visiting my home country on May 30th. Can I come back after I get my admission in Masters for Winter 2025 or Summer 2025 and then may be apply for restore study permit, or extension or apply for new permit as gap will be more than 150 days between both programs? I am not applying for PGWP as I can only apply for one time which I want to do after my Masters. So I will not be in Canada from 30th May 2024 to maybe around Oct-Nov 2024 if I secure admission in Winter 2025 or till Mar-April if I get the admission in Summer 2025.
(NOTE: Due to temporary COVID measures, when I extended my Study Visa last time, I received Visitor V-1 visa which I can use it anytime till 2028 details : https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=208&top=22 )
So I should be able to come to Canada anytime as visitor status and then Apply for study permit extension or most probably new study permit because of big gap, right?
