[requester] Representatives Mailbox From: Sent: [requester] To: Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[requester email]> Subject: [requester] Hello, am looking for clarification on the PAL exemption: "You've entered Canada and one of the following situations applies to you: You're applying for a study permit extension at the same DLI and level of study as your current study permit." From the Canada [requester] defines level of study as:

© primary and secondary education,

© post-secondary education (including vocational and technical traning, and undergraduate programs), and

© graduate education or above. (niveau d’études) My question is: Ifa student completes a Masters program and is accepted to a PhD program at the same DLI, do they require a PAL for their study permit extension? Under IRCC's definition, Masters and PhD programs are the same level of studies and therefore should fall under the exemption, Can you please clarify, ifa student inthis situation would require a PAL or not Best,
