[requester] you for the clarifications, this is very helpful
| would like to follow up on this response please:
Q2: If'a student is withdrawn from the program, and their study permit becomes invalid, can they/do they need to apply to restore
their status as a student if they are accepted into another program at the same DLI shortly after the withdrawal?
A2: A study permit hokler must meet their study permit conditions. In such cases where the student is withdrawn due to not
meeting previous study permit conditions, the student is considered "no longer enrolled”. If you do not abide to the conditions of your
study permit you may need to change your status, or leave [requester], there are a few cases where a student may be able to take a leave of up to a maximum of 150 days from their program
of studies and still be actively pursuing their studies.
For more information, please refer to the [RCC website
Follow up question:
Do I understand this correctly that if'a student's study permit becomes invalid due to being withdrawn from their DLI, they lose
their valid status in Canada? If yes, they are not authorized to change their status with Canada. If this is the case, do they need to:
© * Incase they want to restore their status as a student, apply for a study permit restoration?
© * Incase they want to change their status to a visitor, apply for a restoration and a visitor’s record’?
We are trying to understand the right approach for these scenarios.
Thank you and looking forward to your reply.
Have a great day.

Good day,
o0ot87
Please see our response to your question.
Questions:
Ql: Does this apply to students whose DLI is not specifically mentioned on a study permit? For example, DLI Alberta?
Al: Yes, the regulation applies to all study permit holders regardless of whether their DLl is specifically mentioned on their
study permit or not.
2: If a student is withdrawn from the program, and their study permit becomes invalid, can they/do they need to apply to
restore their status as a student if they are accepted into another program at the same DL shortly after the withdrawal?
A2: A study permit holder must meet their study permit conditions. In such cases where the student is withdrawn due to not
meeting previous study permit conditions, the student is considered "no longer enrolled”. If you do not abide to the
conditions of your study permit you may need to change your status, or leave Canada
However, there are a few cases where a student may be able to take a leave of up to a maximum of 150 days from their
program of studies and still be actively pursuing their studies.
For more information, please refer to the IRCC website.
Q3: Sometimes students could be withdrawn for non-payment, but after paying the fees in full, they could be reinstated. It
could take about a week for us to re-instate the student. In this case, does their study permit become invalid the day they are
withdrawn, or they can continue studying after being reinstated?
‘A3:See above
Q4: What is IRCC’s definition of enrolment for the purpose of this provision? Is it being active in the program or being
enrolled in and taking classes? Students could be active in the program while on a scheduled break or an authorized leave,
but they are not enrolled in classes during that time
‘Aa: A student is considered enrolled if they are actively attending classes or registered for courses at their DLI excluding
regularly scheduled breaks, and authorized leave of up to 150 days. Students will need to ensure that they meet the
conditions of their study permit Your conditions as a study permit holder in Canada - Canada.ca. Therefore, while students
are not actively taking classes during regularly scheduled breaks or authorized leave of up to 150 days, they are still
considered as being enrolled in their DL!
