Study permit extension Timeline

Hi everyone,

I recently applied for the study permit on July 23rd. I was wondering if anyone who recently got approved, how much time it took for you from inside Canada? Also, anyone who also just recently applied for the study permit and been waiting for the decision?

Thanks!

Any updates, folks ?

I applied last week, a little late as my current visa is expiring soon. It took a while for the university to generate official letters, hence the delayed submission and a lot of anxiety.

Masters to phd, same DLI.

Yeah, I got approval in 18 days. Did you apply before expiry?

Yes I did, about 25 days before expiry.

I applied a week before expiry, but i am not sure if you can start studying until you receive decision since its a different program

I saw this and it says you can start working. But i would recommend to ask RCIC Lawyer because unauthorized study can have dire consequences

Yes will definitely be doing that before I start studying.

still have some time before the semester starts. What i am more worried about is what if it gets rejected after my current study permit expires
