Hey guys,
my study permit is expiring on 31st March and my last exam will be on 23rd. I saw the website and it said:
You have up to 180 days to apply for a PGWP after you get your
• degree or diploma
• transcript or
• official letter from your school
If your study permit will expire before you get your marks, you have 2
options. You can
• apply for a visitor record to stay in Canada longer or
• leave Canada and apply for your PGWP
So I have applied for the visitor record but later I read that:
You can apply to change your status to visitor, but once your current study or work permit expires, you won't be able to
apply for a new study or work permit from within Canada. This means it won't give you more time to extend your
study or work permit.
Most visitors aren't eligible to apply for a study or work permit from within Canada. If you change your status to visitor,
you may have to leave Canada to apply for a new study or work permit.
Because of this, we strongly recommend you don't change your status to visitor if you need more time to apply for
your permit.
Make sure you know when your current permit expires and apply at least 30 days before it does.
I am very very concerned right now!!!! Should I call IRCC to withdraw my Visitor Record application?
What will happen if I receive my marks after my Study Permit expires?
Am I in a bad situation here?
Any guidance on this will help me big time!!
Thanks in advance
