So Currently I am in Canada, holding a valid study permit and student visa.
So if I get a offer letter for September 2020 intake, can I apply in January? And as the class will start in September, will staying in Canada till September be a problem now or later?
I know I can’t work until my class has been started, but I wanted to know if I just stay in Canada till September just holding the study permit
Will it be a problem later? Like when applying for pgwp?

Yeah I’m still in school in grade 12, but in my back home I have grade 12 completed, so I have an offer letter from a college.

And my study permit is only valid for attending secondary school, and it expires on September 30, 2020

According to IRCC this does not require a new study permit.

If your study permit is still valid, you don’t need to change or apply for a new permit if you’re moving between school levels. This could be:

  • primary to high school
  • high school to post-secondary
  • post-secondary to high school or
  • any other move between school levels
