202 1 how to renew the study visa in Canada?

To study in Canada, a visa is an essential document. How can I renew my visa when it expires while studying in Canada? Next, I will give you a detailed introduction about the renewal.

I. Update process

How to renew a big contract

The Canadian embassy requires students to apply at least 30 days before the registration period, and it is recommended to submit the application three months in advance. It should be noted that the application for extension of study permit must be made within the validity period of the visa.

How to update small signs

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 do not have to leave the country, even if the small visa period is not renewed. If these two students applying for undergraduate studies in Canada get a four-year visa, in this case, if the student returns to China in his junior year, as long as his study permit has not expired, there is no need to renew his visa, and he can return to Canada with his current passport.

Small sign can send all materials and forms to the Canadian embassy in the United States or China, and the material requirements vary according to the embassy. The material requirements of the Beijing Embassy are basically the same as when applying for a visa for the first time, except that more transcripts of schools in Canada in the past two years and copies of all past study permits should be prepared.

Second, sign the updated materials.

Scan your passport (every page of the scanned passport has your personal information, visa information page, entry and exit stamp page, photo page, etc. You can take photos with your mobile phone or scan with a scanner, and then integrate these photos into a PDF file, and the old study visa is also taken photos or scanned into this material);

Copy of study permit;

Admission certificate: it will be used when uploading documents later, and it is easier to get. Tell the school teachers that they will give it to you;

Offer or admission notice: If you are in middle school and are about to graduate, you need to submit an offer if you apply for university admission next semester. (Note: The university admission notice needs to be a formal admission notice to submit a visa, indicating detailed elements, such as the DLI number of the school, the student's student number, whether it is full-time, course type, course duration, tuition amount, school issuer, etc. , can not be renewed only by submitting the pre-recorded notice of the school);

Recent academic transcripts: If you are in high school, you need to ask the teacher to open the paper transcripts and scan them into PDF files. If you are studying in a university, you can download the electronic version directly from official website University.

Proof of deposit: go directly to the bank in Canada to issue a bank statement (a piece of paper describing your account type and balance) and the bill of your bank account for the past 3-6 months (the amount is about 5000- 10000 Canadian dollars), and the bank will provide it free of charge. The applicant takes photos of the proof materials printed by the bank and makes them into PDF, and then uploads them to official website;

Photo: 2-inch photo on white background, for later submission (note that the photo should be clear within the last 6 months);

IMM5709 Form: It should be noted that the version of this form is frequently updated by the Immigration Bureau. Please make sure that you have filled in the latest version of the spreadsheet before submitting.

Third, the difference and format between small signs and large signs.

Differences between small symbols and large symbols in meaning and format

A small visa is relative to a large visa. Big visa refers to the narrow sense of [study permit], which is the legal right of international students to study/work in Canada. When entering Canada for the first time, Canadian Customs will issue it to the applicant.

A visa is what we often call a temporary residence visa. Directly affixed to the applicant's passport by the Canadian embassy or consulate is the official entry certificate presented to the customs when entering Canada. If the general small sign is invalid, you can stay in Canada with a valid big sign without affecting your study/work. Once you leave Canada, you cannot enter Canada without a valid visa.

The difference between the validity period of a small lot and the validity period of a large lot is that the validity period of a large lot generally depends on two factors:

When applying for a study permit, the estimated graduation time indicated on the admission notice.

The validity period of the passport when applying for a study permit.

The validity period of the big sign is generally the earlier of the above two dates.

Four. Entry and exit materials for studying in Canada

1, original passport and visa;

2. In exchange for an entry study permit;

When entering the country, after the immigration officer has checked your passport and air ticket, you must go to the counter on the other side and show the immigration officer the entry study permit to change it, otherwise you can't enter the country. Even if you can enter the country, not having a study permit will bring great trouble to your renewal in the future. )

3. Minors also need to produce guardianship books;

4. Canadian Customs Entry Form (to be filled in on the plane);

5. Original or photocopy of the notice of admission to a Canadian school;

6. Original receipt or remittance voucher of the school (if the school requires to pay tuition before going to Canada);

7. Original TOEFL or other English test transcripts (if any);

8. Original notarial certificates of all students, such as notarization of birth, notarization of the highest education, notarization of complete transcripts, notarization of no criminal record, etc. This customs does not necessarily check, but students are advised to take it with them to avoid losing it.

9. Because the Canadian Immigration Department requires students to show proof of sufficient funds at the port of entry when they arrive in Canada, so as to obtain a study permit and be allowed to enter Canada. In order not to affect the normal entry of students, it is suggested that students can apply for a local bank card in Canada in advance, deposit at least 5,000 Canadian dollars, and print out the deposit certificate or draft to enter the country.
