URGENT::: Need to Renew my student visa while my study permit is still valid

[neuronaverde]

Hello there..

My case is a particular case. I am studing in Canada since 1 year ago. And my student permit is valid until Spetember 2019 but my study visa expired 7 months ago. I need to go to my country Ecuador, but I can´t because I need to have a valid Visa to come back to Canada. So, can anyone tell me how to apply for a student visa renew without losing my study permit status?

Hello, Thanks for answer my question.

I am following the steps, but when filling out the application for visitor visa form, in the "visa requested field" there are just 2 options visitor visa and transit. That is the part that I am concern about. Because I am a full time student and when I apply for the first time to came to Canada, my expired visa says "Category S-1 - Student " it does not say " Visitor". Although I have my valid student permit is or is not a problem to have a visa as a visitor instead of a student visa.

Thanks so much for your help.. Really appreciate it.

You can renew your TRV no problem, go see your international office at your school for assistance or see https://www.mcgill.ca/internationalstudents/immigration-documents/immigration-materials/renewing-entry-visa-trv (Use as a guide only!)

You need a visitor visa. A TRV is a TRV, whether it says visitor, student or worker.

Hello everyone...! Thanks for your appreciate replays to my questions.
I am on the correct way or not? the thing is: I am already in Canada studing a full time program at BCIT, British Columbia. But in the forms that the system gave me to process the TRV on line, says that I have to fill the form " Application for Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa) Made Outside of Canada (IMM5257) " . SO here is my question why the system is asking me to fill the form called "Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside of Canada" , instead Made inside of Canada. Or both are the same?
