Hi All,
I am an Indian student got admission in York university. I got my study permit which is valid till Oct 2015. However duration of my course is 2 years completing in April 2016.
After inquiring Canadian embassy they told me visa can only be given till the time my passport is valid i.e. Nov 2015. However, VFS person told me on port of entry i will be given stay validity which can be longer than visa validity provided i renew my passport before arriving in canada.
Now, I have got my passport renewed and it's valid till August 2026.
My question is: Is it right immigration officer will grant me longer study permit when i arrive in canada or do i need to apply for extension on my study permit?
Is it possible to apply for extension right now?
Regards,
Ankur
