Scenario | - Applying for a study permit extension, following the completion of a program of studies Question: Ifa student has a longer study permit issued than needed, meaning he or she completes the program of studies in Canada earlier than initially anticipated, and afier 90 days of graduation but before the expiry date of his or her study permit, he or she applies for a study permit extension to study a second program of studies. Would an officer consider R.222(1) when processing this application, meaning the study permit will be considered invalid at the time of application because 90 days has passed since graduation or, as the student completed the program, this would not be an issue? what would count is the actual expiration date on the study permit? IfR.222(1) applies, would the applicant be required to apply the restoration fee? Scenario 2: Applying for a new study program following a break of over 90 days Question: In a similar scenario, however without the completion of the program of studies, but affer a school break of 150 days, would a student be able to apply for an extension after not studying for over 90 days? Or study permit would be considered cancelled? If R.222(1) applies, would payment of restoration fee be necessary?

In other words, would he or she be considered not in compliance since he applied more than 90 days afier graduation? Would this applicant require restoration fees? Would this applicant be eligible to start working full time after submitting a PGWP application from within Canada? Thank you for the clarification. [NAME REDACTED]
