Thank you kindly, [requester] From: Sent: [requester] To: Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[IRCC Immigration Representatives mailbox]> Subject: [requester] Sensitivity: Confidential Dear [requester], 1am writing to seek for an appropriate interpretation of the following regulations regarding study permits With respects to recent updates of legislation regarding study permits, especially the subsections below: * * 220.1 (1) The holder of a study permit in Canada is subject to the following conditions: © * (a) they shall enroll at the designated learning institution that is named in their permit and remain enrolled there until they complete their studies; and

© *(b) they shall actively pursue their course or program of study. $.220.1(1)(a) would maintain a study permit valid to its holder as long as the student continues to study at the DLI named in the study permit until study is completed. However, subsection 220. 1(3) provides certain exemptions: Exception 220.4 (3) Subsection (1) does not apply to

* * (a) a person described in any of paragraphs 300(2)(a) to (i); or " * *(b) a family member of a foreign national who resides in Canada and is described in any of paragraphs 215(2 a) to (i

Family members 215 (2) A family member of a foreign national may apply for a study permit after entering Canada if the foreign national resides in Canada and the foreign national

* *(a) holds a study permit

* * (b) holds a work permit;

* *(c) holds a temporary resident permit issued under subsection 24(1) of the Act that is valid for at least six

months;

* *(d) is subject to an unenforceable removal order;

By applying the exception S.220.1(3)(b), it allows a family member, such as a dependant child, who is a study permit holder of a work permit holder (i.e. subsection 215(2)(b)) residing in Canada, to exempt from the requirement described in subsection 220. 1(1) to enrol at a DLI that is named in the study permit and remained enrolled there until study is complete. In other words, the dependant child who holds a study permit which does not name a DLI (the previous version of study permit) is not required to apply for change condition to remain in Canada as a student (i.e. extension of study permit) even the child changes school or level, provided that the dependant child's parent holds a valid work permit in [requester] advise if the above interpretation of the legislation is correct given the sections quoted.
