Study Permit Refused within Canada
- Thread starter enricandre

So truthfully your situation is messy and you've studied now without authorization. It was never possible for you to attend high school on just an ETA. Ditch the agent and get advice from a lawyer.
You need a lawyer. You must stop studying as of February you will lose status too so apply for visitor record.
Not true... You can check by yourself italian students can do in this way. Just over 6 months study permit is required but was not initially my intention.
I spoke with an immigration consultant i can stay in the territory with a new application that has to be evaluated.

What isn’t true? You can study up to 6 months without a study permit. You can stay in Canada while new application is being processed but cannot study and it is processed from Italy. In February, you will be out of status/overstay because you have been in Canada over 6 months so need to extend your stay as a visitor while you wait. Not sure what you mean by territory…if you mean you can stay in Canada, yes. Processing can take anywhere between 5-12 weeks, not including passport stamping.

No it's processed in Canada precisely in Edmonton. I'm applying within Canada.
How it is possible to extend visitor eTA...
Please this official website:
If a temporary resident also applies for renewal of their work or study permit before the expiry of their existing permit and their permit expires before a decision is made, paragraph R186(u) or section R189 authorizes them to work or study without a permit under the same conditions pending a determination of their application for renewal and only as long as the person remains in Canada

But you entered as a visitor, not a student on a study permit. So you are not extending/renewing a study permit and on maintained status that allows you to continue your studies. So link doesn’t apply to you. You are a visitor, and will have been in Canada more than 6 months so extend your stay as a visitor while waiting for decision.

Talk to an immigration lawyer, not consultant.

You need to apply for a visitor record if you want to remain in Canada longer as a visitor. Not a TRV.
You are a visitor. You never applied for a study permit, so you are not a "student" and so you cannot apply for renewal of something that you do not have before.
You need to apply for a NEW study permit. So you do not qualify for the that authority to continue to work or study since you didn't have it to begin with.
Not sure how you came to study in Canada but studying for less than 6 months without a study permit never made sense given you are attending very different school systems. How would you have transferred to an Italian school halfway through the year? I am very puzzled by this whole thing.
