Visitor status on TRV stamp instead of Student status

[niz_fathi]

Hi,

I recently applied for a study permit extension and got it approved. I applied for a TRV in April 2021 from inside Canada and it got approved in Aug 2021. When I checked my passport after stamping, it shows status as Visitor instead of Student, valid till my passport expiry.

Some of my friends received a similar status when they applied for TRV after work permit approval too.

Has anyone faced the same issue? Is this the new system? Please help.

Hi, yes I have the same issue. Could you please update if you changed it afterwards?

They issue V-1 on TRV now instead of S1. It is normal, your status is determined on the SP issued at the POE
