query regarding reapplying for student visa from INDIA - required or not

[venkitesh_subramonian]

Hi,

Iam from INDIA, having received a student visa for a masters' degree program in Canada - Sep 2023. Due to a personal situation in my family, I might need to defer my studies to Sep 2024 (next year). If my deferral gets approved by the university, please advise if I again need to apply for student visa next year.

Note: The current stamped student visa in my passport has a date of expiry as '31st Dec 2025'. So does this mean, I can enter CANADA next year with the same visa?

Thank you in advance.

You were issued visa for a certain course and LOA
Now that you are deferring, you can inform IRCC with a fresh deferred LOA and land in Canada using the same and be ready to show all docs to the Immigration
You may want to apply SP ext once you land in Canada based on the new dates if needed

Good Luck
