Thank you kindly, [requester] De: Envoyé: [requester] A: Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[IRCC Immigration Representatives mailbox]> Objet: [requester] [requester] 2024-2584, | have two clarifying questions. | have responded to that REP question directly, but if it requires an entirely new entry in the queue, please accept this as the entry of my request. The issue is with the following statement, and the questions follow as numbered items. The parameter for "remains valid" in this context means that the study permit must still be within its validity period and not expired, signifying that the student is allowed to stay in Canada legally for the duration of their program, or until the permit expires, provided no violation occurs. 1) "the study permit must be still within its validity period and not expired" Please recall that permits are made invalid under R222 in terms of DLI switches (by graduating early or by leaving an unfinished program at another DLI early). Are we referring to the expiry date on the study permit OR the expiry due to R222 scenarios? In one case (R222 invalidity scenarios), a permit is statutorily no longer valid once a student is no longer at their previous DLI or 90 days after graduation, and the confusion is how could it be valid for DLI switches. In the other (permit expiry date not yet reached), the permit could be used under the provisions of "remain valid” in the DLI switch. 2) "signifying that the student is allowed to stay in Canada legally for the duration of their program, or until the permit expires, provided no violation occurs" Is this referring to the new program at the new DLI? If so, is the condition that they can study at that new DLI until the permit expires based on the answer of #1, provided no violation occurs? Thank you! 001200
