    Yes, you can do that; the process is not complicated.

    If your study permit is still valid, you don’t need to change or apply for a new permit if you’re moving between school levels. If you change post-secondary schools, the school you plan to change to must also be a DLI.

    If your study permit expires, you need to apply to extend it.

    If your permit has already expired, you must restore your status as a student at the same time as you apply to extend your study permit. You must apply to restore your status within 90 days of losing it. You can’t continue or restart your studies until you have status as a student again and we’ve extended your study permit.

    • university
    • community college, CEGEP, institute
    • private university, career college, academy, school or training institution and
    • ESL/FSL and other language training

    The situation may arise when it is not possible for s foreign national to continue work or education due to financial hardship or similar reasons.

    It is very important for you to remain and keep your visa/stay status in Canada current and active.

You may be asked to leave the country, and this may prevent you from coming to Canada in the future. For example, you may not be approved for another study or work permit in the future.

    Changing a condition on your current permit to a new study permit or restoration of status might become imminent and a time-sensitive matter.

    Before you submit an application for a change in condition or your school or program, you must meet all the conditions of your study permit. This means you must be:
