Dear [requester] representative, We are hoping to clarify the scope of the new regulation under IRPR 222(1)(a.1), posted below. * *222(1) A study permit becomes invalid upon the first to occur of the following days: © *(a) the day that is 90days after the day on which the permit holder completes their studies, © *(a.1) the day on which the permit holder is no longer enrolled at the designated learning institution that is named in the permit, other than as a result of completing their studies; © *(b) the day on which the study permit is cancelled under section 222.7, 222.8 or 243.2; or © *(¢) the day on which the permit expires. Question 1: Based on the above regulation, if a student chooses to take an unscheduled break from their studies which is not classified as an authorized leave according to the DUI, would that student's permit, become automatically invalid after 90 days? If the answer is yes, and if the DL approved that student to return in the next available intake with a re-admit document, would their study permit still be considered invalid? Question 2: Ifa student applies to return to their studies after being out of school on an unscheduled break for one semester, does that student need to restore their status prior to returning to their approved DLI? 00114

Question 3: When a student is out of school for over 150 days for personal reasons (unscheduled break or ‘authorized leave over 150 days), to ensure their permits validity can they exit the country and re-enter to re-validate their study permit or remain in Canada and apply for a visitor record? We have noticed the policy page that previously advised students to exit the country or apply for a visitor record to maintain their study permit has been changed. Question 4: When a student is transferring to a new program within the same DLI and will be out of school for one semester, does that DLI need to approve the leave in-between the two programs to ensure the student's permit remains valid? Or does this student need to do status restoration since they have passed 90 days? Any assistance in response to the above questions would be a huge help to our institution.
