Good day,
Thank you for contacting the Immigration Representatives [requester] 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. Ifyou have case specific questions about a file, you
are encouraged to submit the [RCC Web form,
Please see our response to your question,
RESPONSE 1
Students taking short-term courses (less than six months) at another DLI with permission from their primary institution (DLI
A) do not need a new study permit, provided they maintain primary enrollment at DLI A.
Anew study permit and PALare required only if the student transfers primary enrollment to DLI B or if the course exceeds six
months. Upon returning to DLI A, they can continue studying under their existing valid permit.
For more detailed information, please refer to the following IRCC webpages:
* Study permits: Provincial or territorial attestation letters - Canada.ca
© * Changing your school or program - Canada.ca
RESPONSE 2
International high school students in dual-credit programs do not need a new study permit or PAL if the post-secondary
courses at a DLI are part of their curriculum and under six months. However, if they transition to full-time post-secondary
studies, a new study permit and possibly a PAL would be required.
For more detailed information, please refer to the following IRCC webpages:

© * Study permit conditions
We trust that this information will assist you.
Thank you kindly,

Hello,
| have come across two general situations that | would like to have
clarifications on if the students need a new study permit application.
1. Some students get a Letter of Permission from their school (A) advisors to go
to another university/college (B) to take a course or two for a semester, then
return to A. This happens often when their own DLI (A) does not provide the
courses in that specific term, but the students need the courses to move
forward to the next term. B does not issue a letter of acceptance (LOA), but
simply offers the course(s) to the students if they paid. This usually happens in
a short period of time when students find out that they have to do it, thus
there is not enough time to apply for a study permit.
Is a new study permit required for that one semester to study in B, and if
another study permit is required to return to A? If so, assuming PALs are
required? Please advise.
2. High school students can participate in dual-credit (BC for example), to take
post-secondary courses and receive credit towards both high school
graduation and post-secondary credentials. In that case, do international high
school students need a new study permit to study the courses in a DLI? If so,
are PALs required?
Your insights are much appreciated.
Regards,
