You can apply for immigration when your Canadian visa expires.

Many students who get Canadian visas find that the embassy only gives them visas for one or two years, which is not enough for them to complete high school, undergraduate or even master's courses. In fact, the Canadian embassy usually only gives visas for a period of time, and then students need to renew them.

There are two kinds of study visas in Canada: study permit and small visa. In the process of renewal, both large and small signatures should be renewed.

The study permit is the guarantee of the legal status of international students in Canada. Issued by the Immigration Bureau when the applicant enters the country, the validity period is generally one year (or the same as the validity period of the small visa). Students need to apply for an extension at the local immigration office three months before the visa expires, and no later than 30 days. Late delivery requires a fine. Students with expired visas are illegally detained in Canada, and once they are found, they will be sent back to China.

A visa is a certificate for an applicant to enter the country. Within the validity period of the small sign, you can legally enter the country.

The big sign can be handled in Canada, and the small sign must be handled outside Canada before, and now it can also be handled in Ottawa, the capital of Canada.

Many students will transfer during their study abroad. If it is transferred within the province, the big sign does not need to be changed; If you transfer to another province, you must change your visa.
