Good day,
Thank you for contacting the Immigration Representatives [requester] note that this mailbox is intended for general guidance and does not provide responses to case-specific
inquiries but have provided the following information as guidance. Ifyou have case specific questions about a file, you

Please see our response to your question.
An individual can apply for a work permit, a work permit extension, or for a study permit under the Updated temporary public
policy for nationals of Iran in Canada as temporary residents. The client must be in Canada at the time of application and
when a decision is rendered. The temporary public policy is intended to support Iranian nationals who arrived in Canada on or
before February 28, 2025, and who have maintained their temporary resident status.
Students and permanent residents are separate described classes with distinct application processes. Applicants may apply
for temporary residence while they have applied or will apply for permanent residence; this process is called dual intent and
refers to the concurrent processing of temporary residence and permanent residence applications. It is acceptable for an
applicant to apply for temporary residence while their permanent residence application is in progress, so long as they
demonstrate the intent to leave Canada by the end of their authorized stay and adhere to study permit conditions while
studying in [requester] intent is described under A22(2) and states that an intention by a foreign national to become a permanent resident does
not preclude them from becoming a temporary resident if the officer is satisfied that they will leave Canada by the end of the
period authorized for their stay.
The Updated temporary public policy for nationals of iran in Canada as temporary residents waives the requirements under
R213 of the Regulations (the requirement to apply for a study permit before entering Canada) and Paragraphs 215(1)(a)-(g) of
the Regulations (the requirements that a foreign national must meet in order to apply for a study permit after entering
Canada). It does not waive the requirements to demonstrate that the foreign national will leave Canada by the end of the
period authorized for their stay, nor the requirement to demonstrate dual intent.
Applicants applying for a study permit under the Iran public policy must demonstrate that they meet the requirements of
R216(1)(b), i.e. that the applicant will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for their stay under Division 2 of Part
9. In the event that the applicant concurrently applies for permanent residence, they will need to satisfy the requirements
listed under Subsection 22(2) of the [requester] details on how to apply, please see : Situation in Iran: Temporary immigration, passport and citizenship measures -
Canada.ca.
Thank you kindly,
[requester]
