Applying for study permit from within Canada

[Kelly0409]

Hello to all!

I am in an impossibly difficult situation (or atleast that’s what I think). I have a diploma already from a Canadian institution and currently I am on PGWP, due to expire next month (Jul/25). I have decided to go back to school and take admission in a bachelors program, infact I am in talks with a college and I could start as early as this fall session (Sep/25).

My major concern is my passport, which is due to expire Nov/25. Could my study permit application be rejected because of my passport? I did hire a consultant and he suggests we go through with the study permit application before I renew my passport.

Although I trust him, I have read that study permit refusals are on an all time high.

Could anyone please guide me through this, has anyone ever been in a similar situation?

Could I write a letter of explanation for my permit application, that I recognize the fact that my passport is expiring soon and that I will renew it as soon as I get my student visa (with ofc the extension for my permit).

Please help!
Thank you

If approved with LOA, PAL, funds etc. then you will get a permit until the expiry of your passport. Then you will have to renew it. You may not get response in time as processing is 14 weeks not including passport stamping. You cannot study until approved.
