Study Permit Extension 2024

[Law.Tom]

Hi everyone,
Please I need your immediate assistance and guidance.
My study permit is expiring exactly April 30th and I take my last exam on April 16th. However my school is not know for providing a LOC in a week. So I decided to maintain my study and keep working I need to apply for an Extension of study permit. On getting to IRCC website I was asked to provide a PAL or a sort of exception. Please I need your advice on how to navigate the situation and also what documents will suffice as a proof of exception ?

I also applied on July 15, 2024. Still no response. It makes us feel really bad as we are one of the few applications which are not approved yet. Also, the graduation date is just one month away. I contacted MP, and they followed up with the application and probably will do another follow-up but nothing more than this.

Hi All,

My physical study permit and wife's work permit arrived today but in.the remarks for my wife we saw:

Temporary resident status maintained. This permit does not authorize the holder to engage in employment in Canada. Accompanying parents who holds a valid SP to same that.

Is this a general comment? I.am confused

PhD

Seems like her permit just allows her to remain as visitor but she cannot work. So her work permit was approved with the condition that she cannot work in Canada? When does permit expire?

But it says she cannot work - This permit does not authorize the holder to engage in employment in Canada. Ask an immigration lawyer.

How long does it take for you guys to receive the physical SP and SOWP after receiving approval from IRCC?

I’m hoping to get some insight from others who have gone through a similar situation!

Here are my application details:

• Application Type: Study Permit Extension (Inside Canada)
• Application Submitted: February 5, 2025
• Correspondence Letter Received: March 21, 2025
• Current Status (Final Decision): "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made."
• Biometrics: Already on file from 2021
• Study Permit and Visa Expiry Date: April 30, 2025

After receiving the correspondence letter on March 21, Do you know how much time it takes for the approval?
For those who’ve received a correspondence letter, how long did it take to get your approval after that?
Once approved, how long does it take to get your visa stamp (if applicable)?

I'm a bit anxious since my current permit and visa expire on April 30, 2025, so any advice or sharing of timelines would be really helpful!
