With the new school year just two weeks away, now is the perfect time to review the conditions of your study permit. Staying informed is key to ensuring a smooth academic experience in Canada.

As a study permit holder, you need to meet a number of conditions. If you don’t meet these conditions, you may lose your student status and study permit. You may also have to leave Canada.

As a study permit holder, you must:

• be enrolled at a designated learning institution (DLI), unless you’re exempt
• show you’re actively pursuing your studies, unless you’re exempt, by
  • being enrolled full-time or part-time during each academic semester (excluding regularly scheduled breaks)
  • making progress towards completing your program’s courses, and
  • not taking authorized leaves longer than 150 days from your study program
• tell IRCC any time you change post-secondary schools
• end your studies if you no longer meet the requirements of being a student, and
• leave Canada when your permit expires

Other study permit conditions you may need to follow

You may have other conditions listed on your study permit. You must follow these conditions, which could include

• the level of studies
• if you’re allowed to work on or off campus as a student in Canada
• if you need to report for medical procedures
• if you’re allowed to travel within Canada, and
• the date you must stop studying.

As the new semester approaches, ensure you’re compliant with your study permit conditions to avoid any disruptions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our office—we’re here to help.
