[URGENT] NEED ANSWER TILL END OF DAY RELATED TO Study Permit EXTENSION

[ivanobiwan]

Hey everyone!

I'm currently studying in Sheridan College and I had to retake classes which made me stay 2 more semesters in order to finish my program. I am finishing the program this semester April 22nd. Also meanwhile, I got accepted at UOIT. My study permit expires today, March 25. I sent my application online in February 25, a month before the expire date, but I sent an application for UOIT study permit. I got my answer today and this is what they sent me.:

"This refers to your application for a study permit received 02/25/2016. No action is being taken
to process your request for the following reasons:
[X] Issuance of study permits is limited to persons who are actively pursuing their studies at a
designated learning institution as per R220.1 (1) (b). As you are not currently registered for the
next academic term, you are not eligible for a study permit. We have withdrawn your application
as you have applied more than 90 days before the start of your program. Please submit a new
study permit application within 90 days of starting your program.
NOTE: Passports must be valid for the duration of your stay in Canada. Documents will not be
issued beyond the validity of passports."

So basically I should've applied 90 days before my program started. I immediately applied for a new SP extension. While I was applying for it, a message popped saying that I should apply today, if I won't apply today I will lose my Student Status. After I applied for it I started to get nervous about the documents I submitted. I started researching what is required for Proof of Means of Financial Support, and found out that I should've sent them bank statements for the past 4 months, meanwhile I sent a bank statement for only 1 month (my parents send me money every month).

So my questions are: 1) Should I create a new account and re-apply, considering this is my last day to apply in order not to lose my status? Or should I just wait for their response and hope they will ask me to send the correct documents? 2) And also, are Bank Statements for the past 4 months a good proof of meaning of financial support??

Thanks in advance!

If you have applied already, you still have to wait for a decision to be maid in your existing application
usually you will be good to go, as long as you provide the require documents

I had a friend of mine who applied and due to longer processing time, got the permit 2 month after his old one expires

good luck

Hi ivanobiwan,

I got the same reply. But you applied within 90 days.

I am doing my masters at University of Saskatchewan from September, 2014. I got also admission for PhD here from September, 2016. But, mp study permit and visa will be expired on 31st August, 2016. So, I applied for study permit extension on 8th March, 2016 with following documents: PhD admission letter, PhD scholarship letter, masters scholarship letter and a declaration letter from my program coordinator. Today I received a letter from my account that says the following:

[X} Issuance of study permits is limited to persons who are actively pursuing their studies at a designated learning institution as per R220.1 (1) (b). As you are not currently registered for the next academic term, you are not eligible for a study permit. We have withdrawn your application as you have applied more than 90 days before the start of your program. Please submit a new study permit application within 90 days of starting your program.

Now I am confused about what should I do next? My application status still shows open. I didn't submit my enrolment letter for spring and summer term. Also, I need the permit urgently, because I am planning to apply for a Schengen visa for this July after extending the visa permit.

Should I apply again with submitting the enrolment letter for summer term now? As, registration for fall, 2016 will be open in June. So, I am registered up to summer, 2016 now. Or, I will have to apply within 90 days of my permit expiration? They also said:

This refers to your application for a study permit received 03/08/2016. No action is being taken to process your request for the following reasons:

So, will I get refund for my this application? As I have paid online, how will I get the refund?
May I know what happened to you next?

Thanks.
