Immigration Consultants..
Are you an international student in Canada? Keeping your study permit valid is essential to continue your education, work legally, and maintain your path to permanent residency. At White Swan Immigration Consultants, we offer trusted support for Study Permit Extension and Restoration—helping students maintain legal status under the latest 2025 IRCC guidelines. As one of the Top Immigration Services in BC, our experts handle your application from start to finish, ensuring timely submission and complete compliance.
Maintaining valid status isn’t just about staying in school—it protects your entire future in Canada:
✅ Legal Compliance: Avoid IRPA violations and potential removal orders.
✅ Work Authorization: On/off-campus work depends on a valid study permit.
✅ PGWP Eligibility: A status gap could disqualify you from a Post-Graduation Work Permit.
✅ Access to Services: Health insurance, tuition rates, and student support require proof of status.
If your current study permit is expiring and you’re continuing your program, you must apply for an extension. To be eligible, you need:
📚 Full-time enrollment at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI)
📅 An unexpired permit at the time of application
📝 Transcripts and a support letter from your institution
💰 Proof of funds for tuition and living expenses
📆 Extended Application Window: Apply up to 120 days before or 90 days after expiry
💻 New Form IMM 5709: Online submission with auto-check and verification
💲 Reduced Fees: 15% fee reduction for online applications (from March 2025)
🧬 Biometrics Exemption: No need to re-submit if already done for previous study permit
If you missed the extension deadline, you may still qualify for restoration. Apply within 90 days of permit expiry if:
🎓 You’re still enrolled full-time
🧾 You haven’t been previously refused restoration or extension
💳 You’re able to pay the restoration + extension fee (reduced online)
🌐 New Digital Restoration Portal for faster submissions (avg. 30-day processing)
🎓 Fee Waivers for graduate-level students (Master’s and PhDs)
🤝 Streamlined Process for students in co-op or work-integrated programs
