Hi, this question is asked for my brother. He is 15 years old, and had studied one year in Canada as an international student. His study permit and passport is expired March,2014.
He went back to China this summer and renewed his passport. The person from the Canada visa application centre ask him to go to the The Consulate General of Canada in Shanghai for move the multiple re-entry permit from the old passport to the new passport. He did that and got the two passport back.
One thing strange is the study permit was stapled in the old passport. When he got two passports back, the study permit is not in any of the two passports. He had asked the stuff worked in the Consulate General of Canada in Shanghai, the stuff said he will not need the study permit, only the multiple re-entry permit in new passport is fine.
I am comfused that the study permit should be the proof of his official identity in Canada right? Does the policy changed?


Thanks in advance!

Yes, but the stuff from The Consulate General of Canada in Shanghai took away his study permit and told him he won't need it in Canada.

Never leave your study permit stapled with passport once u obtain it.

I applied for multiple entry and kept the study permit home as my college advisor guided me.
m not sure its required now or not.

try to enter without study permit, if it works its f9. Otherwise ask consulate to provide no objection letter if they have lost the study permit. Study permit is required when you apply for off campus work permit.
