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.

Please see our response to your question in red:

1. 1. The text specifically mentions "the DLI named on the permit’. As only students admitted after January 2025 will have a DLI name stated on their study permit, are we to assume that this amendment applies only to new students with a DLI specific Study Permit, or does this apply to all study permit holders?

A: [requester]

2. 2. Currently, we do not provide approved immigration leaves for students with account hold. Our current practice is to ask the student to return home or if they are staying in Canada to apply for a Visitor Record, clear their amount owing and return the next semester. We also counsel on PGWP eligibility and work restrictions in these cases. Under the new announcement, are students also required to apply for a new study permit in addition to a Visitor Record if IRCC is marking their current existing student as invalid?

A: [requester] However, a student that is no longer enrolled and does not have a DLI-authorized leave will need to leave Canada, or change their status as they are no longer actively studying, therefore no longer abiding to their study permit conditions.

3. 3. We also have situations in which students may be away from campus for authorized reasons such as student exchange agreements or registration at another DLI as part of a joint degree program. Should these students be given an approved leave? Ideally, students attending another DLIas part of a joint degree program would be on the other school's DL! compliance report, but with the new requirement to apply for a new Study Permit when they do a semester or year at another institution, it is unlikely that the student's application for a new SP would have been processed before the DLI compliance reporting period is started.
