Hey guys!
I am an international student studying in Canada. I received my study permit June 2013 and it is valid through August 2017, so I'm currently in my second year. Due to financial difficulties it looks like I'll have to leave school for this winter semester (Winter 2015). I am planning to leave Canada for this time and go back to my home country, and then return to Canada next fall or winter. My question is whether I'll have to re-new my study permit and/or visa. They will be still valid, and I will be attending same college, however, I will be changing program to finish my studies earlier.
I know there are new rules saying that study permits become invalid after 90 days not attending school starting June 1, 2014, but my study permit was issued before that date, so I'm not sure that the same rules apply. I swear to god, I have read every document, every section of new regulations but I just can't make sense out of it. If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated!
Also, when I leave college like this, will it be noted that I dropped out or took leave of absence or something else?
Thanks!
