STUDY PERMIT

[Liny]

OP flagpoled when permit was approved. Read first post. So your permit was approved and you sent in passport for stamping?

No, I meant I applied for student visa from inside Canada. Didnt get any approval yet.

Ok. If visitor, it is processed from home country so look at processing times.

Hi, my home country's processing time is 4 weeks, and I applied 5 weeks ago. Could you suggest on what to do, should I contact IRCC or wait for a few more weeks (my classes start in September)

Posted processing times are just estimates and not guarantees. All you can do is wait. There are no guarantees you will hear back for a September start date. Assume you have PAL. Is there a reason you are visiting Canada when you don’t know if your study permit will be approved and when?

My parents have work permit and I came to visit them, so I am exempt from having PAL

So you wait.

So I just got an update today, my current study permit is invalid and I guess I’ll be issued a new one soon after.

What do you mean “invalid” so does that mean you cannot study until issued a new one?

 

[Senami1999]

I guess so. I read on another forum that it wouldn’t take that long to issue a new study permit.

Sorry why do you need a new study permit issued? Were you not changing conditions to work since you applied at the border? What forms did you send in to cancel your permit? Changing conditions takes many months.

I wasn’t able to apply for an SIN without work conditions written on the study permit. The conditions will also allow me work while studying.
I filled out the IMM1436 document and provided my original study permit, passport data page, birth certificate and proof of acceptance from school.

So you applied to change conditions of your study permit to work. Processing takes many months. People wait over 6 months or more. You didn’t apply for a new study permit. Post the letter for IRCC because your study permit should not be cancelled.

 

[Senami1999]

Yes I did apply to add conditions to my study permit and the new study permit has been approved and mailed to my address.

So you have a study permit and it is not invalid.

 

[Senami1999]

The old study permit without conditions/remarks is invalid and I’ll probably get the new study permit next week?
