Hello,
My story:
Im in my last year of high school on a study permit. I applied for a study permit extension on September 29, 2019. My school is non-semestered, so at the time of extending my visa, I only had a proof of enrolment letter saying I was to study until March. I applied for the extension and I got an answer on February 29 saying that my visa was approved until April 30th. That's tomorrow. The problem is, I haven't received my visa in the mail, and I am now enrolled in school until June so that I may graduate. I can't apply for an extension because I don't have my new visa with my new UCI and other information. I have been emailing IRCC back and forth, only for them to tell me that I have to send in a form for verification of my visa, so they can send a new one over. The issue with that is that it takes 1 month for them to process it, that would mean I'd be in Canada without status, and I can't afford to stop my studies for a whole month as I am graduating this year. I have already received a university acceptance here in Canada, but all of this is stopping me from extending my visa. thank you.
TLDR: Never received physical copy of visa in the mail, now I can't extend my stay as as student in Canada, visa expires tomorrow.
