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 RCC Web form.
Please see our response to your question:
Question:
He came to Canada hoping to get away from them and actually study and make a career.
However, he now found out that the gang members in India believed that he had given information about the other gang
members to the indian police leading to their arrest in [requester] he applies for refugee protection and becomes a refugee claimant
Will his existing study permit remain valid and he can continue his studies in Canada?
or he have to apply for a new study permit based on his refugee claimant status?
Response:
Please note that we are unable to provide case-specific advice.
For the purposes of general program guidance, having a valid study permit allows a refugee claimant to go to school while
they are waiting for a decision on their claim. If their valid permit will be expiring, they must apply to extend their study
permit before it expires. Refer to the IRCC website for additional information about Claiming Asylum in Canada - Canada.ca
Some study permit holders, including refugee claimants whose claim has not yet been decided on, are exempt from certain
study permit conditions
However, they still need to meet all the other conditions listed on their study permit, and must make sure they know what
these conditions are
Thank you kindly,
[requester]
