In study permit extension, an applicant is required with an international student, if the student wishes to continue their stay in Canada for studying for longer than the validity period of their study permit. There is a very long procedure to extend the permit, the international student must submit an application to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada to extend their stay in Canada as a student.




This application must be submitted online whenever it has been mentioned. In order to know the requirements, the Canadian government needs that most residence applications made from within Canada be made with the help of the online application and that applicants should provide all applications for extensions of temporary resident status made within Canada. Also, all applications which are for study permits made from within Canada, all applications for renewals of study permits made from within Canada.  For this reason, the students have to plan to ensure that their application is submitted in advance of the expiration date of their current permit.
