Hello everyone

I currently studying a PG diploma in a university, and I will graduate in July. After I finished my study in my university, i will go to a college in Saskatchewan. My question is do i need to renew my study permit if i want to study at the new college? (my study permit still valid after i graduate from my university)

Many thanks

Zhen

How come? You got SP for a longer period of time than your initial program length?

Call CIC because as on June 1, 2014 if you change a program you HAVE to inform CIC but I am not sure if have to do that in case you want to continue studying.

hi

this is the website about study permit new rules:http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-changes.asp

it said this does not apply to those SP holders who received their SP before June 1. So it makes me puzzled.

Section 222 of 16 (90 days rules!) of IRPR Act is applicable in all cases (including you).

Regulatory amendment to require study after arrival in Canada

To address those students who may switch from longer to shorter-term programs under the same study permit, or who finish studies early, and who therefore may still hold a valid study permit despite no longer studying, under these Regulations a study permit will become invalid on the day that is 90 days following the completion of studies. Those students would also no longer be authorized to remain in Canada unless they also hold a valid work permit or other form of authorization to remain.
