De: Envoye: [requester] A: Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[IRCC Immigration Representatives mailbox]> Objet: [requester] Good day, Thank You for your response. A new question arose after the response. Response says " After changing their status to visitor, a student may resume their studies, using their previous study permit, as long as the study permit is valid. Does it mean if the Visitor Record application is still in progress, a student cannot resume study using their previous valid study permit? A\so, does the visitor status remain valid until the expiry of the previous study permit or does the status automatically change back to Student as soon as a student resumes their studies? Looking forward to your reply.

Moreover, if the current study permit expiry date is earlier than the course completion date, can a student apply for Study permit extension while his visitor record application is in process?

Under current instructions, a student on a leave from studies that was authorized by their designated learning institution (DLI), who did not resume their studies by the end of the authorized leave period, should either leave Canada, or change to visitor status or worker status.
