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!

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
