What should I do if my Canadian study visa expires?

First: Students who want to study in Canada must pay attention to the validity period of their STUDYPERMIT. It is best to apply for an extension three months before it expires.

Second: After the STUDYPERMIT extension is completed, it is recommended that students apply for an extension for a round-trip VISA in their passport.

Third: If the student’s STUDYPERMIT has expired for three months, the student cannot extend his study permit in Canada, nor can he continue studying. You need to return to China and reapply for STUDYPERMIT. The application time needs to be six months after leaving Canada before you can resubmit the application.

The student’s performance in Canada and the financial ability of the parents play a crucial role in whether the visa can be re-obtained, especially the student’s performance.

How to reissue a lost passport and visa application for studying in Canada:

1. Find a way to find copies of the lost passport and visa.

Copies of passports, visas, etc. can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble in the subsequent self-rescue process and better cooperate with the staff to improve work efficiency. If you can't find a copy, it's best to find the visa number/ClientID.

2. Report the crime to your nearest police station (RCMP).

Use Google and other map software to search for the RCMP office closest to you, and provide the staff with the documents you have, such as driver's license, student ID card, etc. Explain the process of losing your passport truthfully. The staff will then give you a Case Number, which must be kept as it will be used when applying for a new certificate later.

On the one hand, the purpose of reporting a crime is to allow the police to help see if anyone has picked up the passport and handed it over to the police station. On the other hand, it is to prevent bad elements from stealing the passport and committing illegal acts. If it is done at the police station If you have proof of loss, you don’t have to worry.

3. Reissue a visa

Most people’s visas are in their passports, so passports and visas are often lost at the same time. Go to the Immigration Canada website to download the required forms for re-application. After completing the forms as required, attach the case number when reporting the case, copies of the original passport and original visa.

Send the above information to the Canadian Immigration Processing Center in person or by mail. It is recommended to send it in person, which can reduce the time for reissue and prevent unnecessary trouble caused by the letter being lost in the mail.
