When is a good time to renew the visa for studying in Canada?

In the past, applicants for Canadian student visas could easily obtain study visas by providing admission materials, and they could also extend their visas when their studies were not completed. However, it seems that the latest regulations have been issued recently, requiring visa applicants to show their transcripts for the last two semesters in order to successfully complete their studies, otherwise it will be difficult to obtain a student visa!

It is reported that Canada's move is to prevent overseas students from defrauding student visas. It is understood that a considerable number of overseas students studying in Canada do not really go to school in Canada, and some of them drop out of school soon after the start of school, or work illegally or idle away.

CIC did not specify the earliest date for the renewal of the Canadian study visa. It is suggested that it should not be more than half a year in advance, and it should be three months in advance if it is not necessary to return to China. For example, your visa expires on June 30th, and you can submit an application for renewal on March 30th.

Students studying in Canada should find out their size and signature, and apply for renewal in accordance with relevant regulations three months in advance. Visa is commonly known as small visa, and students who intend to study in Canada must apply for a visa. Visas are issued by the Canadian Embassy in China, and students can apply through the Canadian Embassy. Students who have studied in Canada for more than 6 months get a student visa.

Visa), you can only get visitorvisa in less than 6 months. A visa allows students to get a pass to Canada, which is generally only used when students enter and leave Canada.

The validity period of study visa in Canada is mostly 1 to 4 years, with the shortest half a year and the longest 5 years, which is not necessarily consistent with the planned study time of students. And even if you apply for the same school and the same course, different students may get different visas. Students should renew their visas before they expire. If they don't renew their visas in time and plan to continue to go to Canada, it is better to complete the visa renewal before returning to China, otherwise they will have trouble going to Canada from China in the future. Visas can only be applied for and obtained outside Canada. International students studying in Canada can apply to the Canadian embassy in Buffalo or Seattle by mail if they don't return home, which usually takes one month.

The study permit is commonly known as the big visa. Students studying in Canada must also have a Canadian study permit (study

Permit). The first study permit for students was obtained by the visa, embassy visa paper (obtained at the same time as the visa), admission book and other documents after being interviewed by the customs immigration officer when entering Canada for the first time. A study permit is the status of a Canadian student. It not only records the students' name, date of birth, birthplace, nationality, serial number and other basic information in detail, but also indicates the date of issuance, validity period, designated institutions, professional fields, status and conditions of the study permit.

The validity period of the study permit is generally less than or equal to the validity period of the visa. Most students get a study permit in a shorter time than they actually need to study in Canada, usually only one or two years. Students should renew their study permit 3 months before it expires. Whether the renewal can be obtained usually depends on the performance of students in various aspects during their previous study in Canada.

Generally, the big and small signs expire at the same time, so there is enough time to renew the small sign, so as not to delay everyone's trip back to China or go out to play!

Who needs to apply for the renewal of the study visa in Canada?

CIC stipulates that you must apply for renewal of your existing study permit 30 days before it expires. Bian Xiao reminds you that if your existing study permit expires and a new one has not been applied for, you can still continue to study in Canada until you get a new one. If your study permit is about to expire and you plan to travel during this period, please apply for renewal of your study permit in advance.
