Student Visa Renewal

Studying in Canada is an exciting opportunity, and if you’re enjoying your time here and wish to continue your education, renewing your student visa (study permit) is essential. At L3J Immigration Consulting, we are dedicated to helping international students navigate the renewal process smoothly, ensuring you can stay focused on your studies while we handle the paperwork.

What is a Student Visa Renewal?
A student visa renewal involves extending your study permit to continue your education in Canada. If you wish to remain in Canada for an additional program or if your current program extends beyond the initial permit's expiry date, you must apply to renew your study permit before it expires.

​

Why Renew Your Student Visa?
Renewing your study permit is crucial for several reasons:

  • Continuity of Studies: Ensure there is no interruption in your studies by renewing your permit before it expires.

  • Extended Stay: Allows you to continue studying in Canada and complete your program without the stress of visa expiry.

  • Maintain Legal Status: Keep your status as a legal student in Canada, which is essential for maintaining your rights and privileges as an international student.

​

Who Needs to Renew Their Student Visa?
You need to renew your student visa if:

Your current study permit is about to expire, and you wish to continue your studies.

  • You are enrolled in a new program or your current program extends beyond the expiration date of your existing permit.

  • You plan to stay in Canada for a longer period to complete additional courses or programs.

​

How to Renew Your Student Visa
The process for renewing your study permit involves several key steps:

  • Prepare Your Documents: Gather all necessary documents for your renewal application, including a valid passport, proof of enrollment in your educational institution, and evidence of sufficient funds to support yourself. Our team at L3J Immigration Consulting can help ensure you have all the required documentation.
