Hello everyone,
I’m a minor dependent currently finishing grade 8 in a public school in Canada. My study permit is up for extension along with my mom’s, who has a multi-year permit extension planned.
I have some concerns and would appreciate advice from those with experience or knowledge:
I’m a minor dependent currently finishing grade 8 in a public school in Canada. My study permit is up for extension along with my mom’s, who has a multi-year permit extension planned.
I have some concerns and would appreciate advice from those with experience or knowledge:
- My current LOA covers only the 2024/25 school year (ending June 2025). Since I’m moving to grade 9 next year (a new school year and new school), IRCC may ask for a new LOA or enrollment confirmation for 2025/26.
- If I don’t provide a new LOA, is there a high chance IRCC will limit my permit extension only up to June 2025 instead of matching my mom’s multi-year permit?
- How often do minors get refused or have their permit shortened just because of an expired or missing LOA, especially when the parent’s permit is approved?
- My younger sisters are staying in the same K-12 school with LOAs only for 2024/25. Is it very likely their permits will be extended to match my mom’s permit length without new LOAs?
- If my mom adds my new LOA but not my sisters’, does that create any risk for their extensions?
- What is the best way to submit updated LOAs or enrollment confirmation to IRCC (my email, my mom’s, or a representative’s)?
