Question:
Does a student need PAL letter ifhe/she is applying for a study permit extension?
He came to Canada in September 2023 in Sheridan College but switched to a different college (Fleming College) in January
2024. He is currently in his last semester and is completing his diploma in April 2025. His study permit is valid until April 30,
2025 and we are applying to extend it for another 3 months i.e. until July 31, 2025. He requested his college to provide for PAL
but his college is not providing as they don't provide PAL for extensions.
Can he apply for a study permit extension without PAL?
Response:
Thank you for your email correspondence to Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada’s Immigration Representatives
[requester] consider the information provided as general program guidance and not a directive for case-specific enquires.
Students who changed DLIs, through their on-line account, before November 8, 2024 may keep studying at their DLI with their
current study permit as long as they still meet their study permit conditions.
When applying to extend their study permit to cover the study period at the new DLI, unless they meet one of the exceptions
they must submit a provincial/terrtorial attestation letter PAL/TAL with their application.
For example, students already in Canada who are applying for a study permit extension at the same DLI and level of study as
their current study permit do not require a PAL/[requester] applicant will need to provide pro! that they meet one of the above
exceptions if they don’t provide a PAL/TAL with their application.
