Question:
The IRC policy states that students accepted for the Winter or Spring 2025 semester (starting from January 1 to May 1,
2025) may begin studying at their new DLI while their study permit extension is being processed, provided they meet all
conditions.

start)?
2. 2.|s the policy's reference to the January 1—May 4, 2025 timeframe based on the start date of the term, regardless of
its end date?
Answer:
