What is the size of Canadian study visa?

Study abroad permit: this is the first time I entered the country, and I exchanged it with a letter from the customs at the immigration office of Toronto or Vancouver airport, commonly known as a big visa;

Study visa: It was also obtained when we applied for a visa in China. It is a visa to enter Canada, commonly known as a small visa.

Let's introduce these two kinds of visas in detail:

Visa-a study permit visa issued by the Immigration Bureau when the applicant enters Canada.

This kind of visa only allows students to study in Canada and cannot be used as a certificate for entry and exit. It is a document issued by the customs when students first enter Canada. Because it is in the form of a page, some people call it big paper. The purpose of a visa is to prove a student's legal student status in Canada. However, a big visa has a certain time limit. If the visa is not renewed, and the situation is serious (generally, it cannot be renewed for more than three months at the latest), it will be regarded as illegal detention by the immigration bureau, and it is very likely that the visa will be refused. The validity period of the Canadian student permit visa is usually 1 year. When it expires, you should apply for an extension at the local immigration office. Under normal circumstances, if the applicant can successfully complete the 1 course, he can apply for extending the validity of the visa until the end of the study.

Small sign-the applicant applies to CIC for a "visa" affixed to his passport and gets the consent of the Canadian Consulate.

This kind of visa is the applicant's entry and exit certificate, which can be called entry and exit visa. The validity period of the small sign depends on the specific situation, ranging from one year to four years. As long as the big visa has not expired, students don't have to leave the country, even if they have a small visa period, they don't have to renew it.

Because the paper size of the study visa is smaller than that of the study permit, the visa is called a small visa and the study permit is called a large visa.

The big sign and the small sign cannot be done at the same time. You can apply for a round-trip visa only if you have a study visa. It usually takes 7- 14 working days to apply for small sign renewal in China, and it may take longer in the peak period.
