Please find the response to your inquiry: _e " ‘Thank you for your email correspondence to Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada’s Immigration Representatives [requester] information is being provided as general program guidance; we are unable to provide case-specific advice. Questions: {am writing to confirm the requirements for a provincial attestation letter (PAL) for study permit extensions, given the statement on the IRCC website indicating that you do not require a PAL. if you are applying for a study permit extension at the same DLI and level of study as your current study permit (Study permit: Get the right documents Provincial attestation fetter or territorial attestation letter ~ Canada.ca). Could you please respond to the following scenarios? Scenario 1: A student is applying to extend their study permit and will be remaining in the same program of study. They are exempt from the requirement for a PAL, correct? Response | Students who remain in the same program of study at the same Designated Learning Institution (DLI) do not require a new Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) when applying for a study permit extension. When applying to extend their study permit, the applicant will need to provide proof that they meet one of the exceptions if they do not provide a PAL with their application. Scenario 2: A student has completed one program at our college. They have been accepted for a second program of study. They are applying to extend their study permit to complete a second, different program (that is at the same level of study — ie. both diploma programs).

Will this student require a PAL for their study permit extension?
