same DLI within 150 days without applying to restore their status, if their study permit expiry date has not passed? Or
does their study permit become invalid the moment they cease to be enrolled, and they must apply to restore their status to
resume studying at the same DLI, even if the study permit names the same DLI and the expiry date has not passed yet?
Again, I am not describing an authorized leave of absence approved by the DLI, rather a complete withdrawal from the
DLI (no longer enrolled, under DLI reporting categories) followed by a new acceptance.
AB & 4:
A student is not required to apply for a new study permit if they are changing programs at the same DLI
However, if they have withdrawn from their studies and is no longer enrolled and has not been granted an authorized
leave (as previously mentioned), they are no longer meeting the conditions of their study permit and must change their
status or leave Canada.

Hello,
Thank you for your email
The responses to questions 1-4 in my initial email are not clear. Please confitm if my below takeaways are correct and provide
further clarification.
1. 1, What I understood from Answer | is that if'a student's study permit does not list a specific DLI’s name, and they cease to
be enrolled at their current DLI before completing their program, their study permit does not become invalid under R222(1)
(a.1), because no DLI is named on the study permit. Please confirm if this is correct.
2. 2. [Ifthe above understanding is correct, it implies that in said scenario, if the student is accepted to a new program of study
at the same DLI and resumes studies at the same DLI within 150 days, and the expiry date on their study permit has not
passed, they would not need to apply for a new study permit. This is not an authorized leave of absence approved by the
DLI, rather a complete from the DLT withdrawal (no longer enrolled, under DLI reporting categories) followed by a new
acceptance. Please confirm if this understanding is correct.
3. 3. Ifa student whose study permit names a DLI ceases to be enrolled at the named DLI, do they have a period of 90 days to
apply to restore their status as a student if they are accepted toa different DLI?
a. a. If they do not intend to restore their status within 90 days, must they leave Canada immediately, or can they remain
in Canada for 89 days in case they decide to restore their status before 90 days have passed?
4, 4. Ifa student whose study permit names a DLI ceases to be enrolled at the named DLI, can they resume studying at the
same DLI within 150 days without applying to restore their status, if their study permit expiry date has not passed? Or does
their study permit become invalid the moment they cease to be enrolled, and they must apply to restore their status to resume
studying at the same DLI, even if the study permit names the same DLI and the expiry date has not passed yet? Again, I
