150 days from the day that I ceased my studies

[ahaqlj]

Hi, I am a Chinese student . I came to Canada as an international student on December 2019. I live in Canada for over 100 days up to now. For some reason I withdrew from an MBA course in January and then applied to a post-graduate course offered by another school. But the new course will start in September 2020. I understand the condition to “actively pursue their studies” :"A student should begin or resume their studies at their new institution within 150 days from the day that they ceased or completed their studies at the previous institution. If a student does not resume their studies within 150 days, they should do either of the following:
- change their status (that is, change to visitor status or worker status)
- leave Canada

But the problem is that now I am not able to get tickets to leave Canada due to the pandemic. So I worry that I will be considered non-compliant with my study permit conditions.

Could anyone please tell me how to deal with this problem ? Thanks .

1. You either apply for an extension as a visitor and then have to apply overseas for another SP for the new course.
2. By the way there are almost daily flights from YVR to China

Thanks. But the website canada.ca says " After changing their status to visitor or worker, students may resume their studies, using their previous study permit, as long as the study permit is valid. ". So doesn't it mean my current SP will still be valid when I start my new course?

You stopped studying in January. You could have returned to China a long time ago. When you change you enrolment online to your new school? Your current school may have already reported that you dropped out or withdrew which could have cancelled your SP.
