Travelling out of Canada during study permit extension process

[amazingpaddy]

Hi All,

I am a International student and have study permit valid till July 23rd 2022 (as per my old passport expired date). I got my new passport and applied for the study permit extension on Jan 20 2022 but its still in Progress. Now I am planning to travel to my home country on April 29th 2022 for my brother marriage and will be back on May 10th 2022.

I got confused when I checked CIC website whether I can travel outside Canada when my extension application progress. They have mentioned 2 points and I didn't understand the second paragraph (in italics and red color text). I feel the second point contradicts the first point.

When you return to Canada
If your study permit is still valid, or we extended your permit while you were away, we may let you enter as a student.

If we’re still processing your study permit extension*, we may let you enter as a visitor. In this case, you can’t study until you get your extended study permit. The officer at the port of entry may also ask you to prove you have enough money to support yourself in Canada.

Do you have a valid TRV?

If you TRV is valid and you come back before expiry of both TRV and current SP, then point 1 applies to you. If you come back while your SP is expired but your TRV is valid, they "may" admit you as visitor. second point applies. If your TRV is expired and you leave Canada, you wont be able to come back ( airlines wont issue boarding pass)...

you meant passport stamping ?

you meant passport stamping ?

I mean a TRV (temporary resident visa). Do you have a valid TRV? Or do you just have your study permit?

You need to have a valid TRV to be able to board a plane and return to Canada. Right now it takes many months to get a TRV. So if you don't already have one, your trip as planned won't be possible.

I have both study permit and a stamp in my passport (this is what you meant by TRV ?).
