Canada study visa renewal

Studying in Canada requires not only a student visa, but also a study permit, which is commonly called a Canadian study visa. Holding a visa often faces the problem of renewing it after its expiration. So, what should I do to renew these two Canadian study visas? I have compiled the following contents, hoping to help you.

1, Canada Small Sign-Visa

The small sign is a visa affixed to a student's passport. According to Nanjing Jiacheng study visa consultant, the validity period of small visa varies from one year to four years according to the specific situation. 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. It is not uncommon for us to apply for a Canadian student visa every year and get a four-year visa. In this case, if students return to China in their junior year, as long as the study permit has not expired, they do not need to renew their visas and can return to Canada with their current passports. This is very different from the American F- 1 student visa, which deserves our attention.

2. Canada visa-study permit

A visa, or study permit, is a document issued by the customs when a student first enters 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. From this perspective, it is somewhat similar to the I-20 of American students. However, the big sign-in has a certain validity period. If the big visa period is not renewed, and the situation is serious (in general, the extension shall not exceed three months before the expiration), it will be regarded as illegal detention by the immigration bureau, and it is very likely that the visa will be refused.

Second, how to renew the Canadian study visa?

Don't worry, it's easy to update. The first renewal is a study permit, which can be renewed online. Details are as follows:

Student visa/also called big visa, or big thesis. Multiple entry (single entry)/also known as small sign or small paper. Both parties must apply for visa extension on time.

The application for renewal of study visa in Canada can be submitted online or by mail. Generally, the processing speed of applications submitted online is relatively fast, and the current trial time is about 40 days. Upon completion, it will be sent to students by email.

If you are an international student studying in Canada with a student visa (the correct name is "STUDYPermit-"), you need to apply to the Canadian Immigration Bureau for an "extension" when the original visa time is about to expire. International students can download, print or ask for the application form of student permit extension on the website of Immigration Canada, or call Immigration Canada and ask them to send it.

To renew a round-trip visa, that is, a small visa, you need to prepare the following materials:

1. Bank deposit certificate issued within 5 days before mailing the application form/kloc-0 ($ 10/0,000).

2. The school certificate (which must indicate the subjects studied, the expected completion time and the current level), the most important thing must be the school seal.

3. Your passport (valid for at least half a year)

4. Your study permit

8. Your cover letter (why do you want to renew multiple round trips? Never say you want to go back in class.

The materials needed depend on the embassies abroad. For international students in China, they are nothing more than Seattle, China, Hongkong and Peking.

In Seattle, USA, you should send your passport, application form and two photos. It is best to have a letter of confirmation and financial guarantee from the school, because it is possible to ask you for a bank money order (150 Canadian dollars), and the trial time will take about 5 weeks.

China and Hongkong, I want to go by myself, and the materials are basically the same. This will be finished in a day or two.

In Beijing, the materials are more complicated, as follows: two photos, bank deposit certificate, (preferably) school letter, report card (possibly) application form, family member relationship form, personal education form, (note that it is the same as when going abroad) about 850 yuan RMB, and an interview may be held (unlikely), and the probation period is about two to three days.
