Students Changing DLI for 2025 Winter_Spring Semesters msg;
Good day,
Thank you for contacting the Immigration Representatives Mailbox
Please note that this mailbox is intended for general guidance and does not provide responses to case-specific inquiries but
have provided the following information as guidance. If you have case specific questions about a file, you are encouraged to
submit the IRCC Web form.
Students in this situation remain covered by the grace period provision, provided they submitted their study permit
extension application before the expiration of their current permit, even if the permit expires while the new application is
being processed.
This grace period ensures that students can continue their studies without interruption due to processing times.
Thank you kindly,
[requester]

lam resending this question because the number of enquiries | am receiving from DLI’s and students that are
potentially affected is growing daily. Both the DLI’s and the students wish to ensure they remain in
compliance with IRRC policy and therefore we would appreciate a definitive response from IRCC to clear up
this ambiguity.
1am receiving a high volume of enquiries from DLI clients regarding the recent changes for students changing DLI's and
in particular the following eligibility criteria. As such my clients and | would be grateful if IRCC will clarify the meaning of
the requirement highlighted in yellow below. Specifically, we wish to know if this means :
The original study permit must be valid on the date the new study permit was submitted, and that it does not
have to remain valid until the new study permit is approved
If you were accepted to a new DLI for the Winter or Spring 2025 semester (starting from January 1, 2025 to May
1, 2025)
You can start studying at your new DLI if you
« * have been accepted to a DLI for the Winter or Spring 2025 semester (starting from January 1, 2025 to May 1,
2025), and
© “have applied for a study permit extension, and
« “have a study permit that remains valid and that doesn’t have the DLI name printed on it, and
© * meet all your existing study permit conditions
If you meet these criteria, you can attend the new DLI you wanted to transfer to while your study permit extension is
being processed.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
