hey guys,

I’m going to be extending my study permit but I’m only going to need to extend it by 1 month because the original study permit expiration date is December 1st 2018 and my final semester ends about 13 or 14 days after my original study permit expires. Now my question is since I’m only extending 1 month will they do it? I hope so because i was full time for 2 semesters before this one. I wish to apply for my PGWP after December. Also I see the application package includes a form called “Statuatory declaration of common law union” I have a common law partner who I’ve been living with for 1.5 years. What does this form do/show to immigration? I’m curious.

Yes. They will extend it. Apply with your Enrollment letter. Also write your expected duration of completion in Imm 5709. No need to worry. They will extend it.

Aneep,

Which is imm 5257? I searched it up and it came up with a TRV. I’m from the US so correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think I need a TRV?

You need study permit as far as I know. Your valid Study permit will allow you leave and enter Canada if you have valid USA passport

Do we need to write the date of the f program completion + 90 days by our own or writing only the exact day of program completion will be fine?

Day of completion of program on offer letter+90 days must be written. This will benefit u.
Actually, I am going to extend my study permit until february 22 2019, the letter that I received from my college states the same date, So can I just make up a new date by adding 90 days on my own ?

Hi guys, thank you for your reply. I have one more question regarding proof of fund. Can I just download 4 months bank statement (online) and upload it or do I need to have an official letter from the bank to extend my study permit?

I guess in my location the bank's office has been closed, and tomorrow (sunday) is also off. So can I go with e-statement only?

Hi Bro...

I need your precious suggestions... I have a situation which I would like to discuss with you... If anyone has recently completed 1yr studies in canada... and again wants to get himself enrolled for another 1 year program... it means 1 + 1 yr program... just because to obtain 3 years PGWP...

My current study permit expires in december 2018 and plans on attending a different school in Manitoba (still a DLI) however it will be for a January 2019 Intake.

So now the query is..

1. Should I apply for study permit extension even though it starts in January Or I will need a new study permit..???? And what is the success rate.. that officer would again issue Or allow us for a study permit extension?

2. How easy to obtain study permit extension if applying within Canada?

3. More importantly, do we again need to show the proof of funds.. It is reflecting as one of the options which is mandatory to show while trying to apply online on CIC's website... For example, if another one year program cost us $15,000 then do we again have to show money in my bank account ... like In the same manner.. I showed them when I first applied from India .??
And suppose.. if I am not having enough balance in my back account then I would not be issued an extension...? funds available, i am quite not sure what to put, as my bank statements show a total balance of $500 and i already paid ONLY 1 semester fees, I dont want the cic thinnking i cannot sustain myself as my available balance is low.

4.Is getting an extension approved easier than when you apply for the first time ? As in are they less likely to refuse (as long as you have all the documentation of course) ?

Please note : (Previous study permit not expired)

I am sure you could assist ...it would be a great help...
Thanks in advance... :)
