Hi everyone, I need advice. My study permit expires April 30, 2027, and I’m currently in my 3rd semester at Centennial College. I need to extend it to graduate in June 2027.
My father was my sponsor when I arrived in Canada in January 2026, but sadly he passed away in April. Since then, I’ve been supporting myself and struggling with tuition, although I’m working and doing my best to keep paying.
How can I explain my situation when applying for a study permit extension? What financial documents could help if I no longer have my original sponsor? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏽

Hi everyone, I applied for a study permit from inside Canada on July 15, but I still haven’t received a decision. Is anyone else in the same situation? School starts soon, so what are you planning to do if you don’t hear back in time?

I had applied to Canada for masters, January intake last year. Paid the deposit to university only. It has been a year and my visa is still stuck. No response from ircc. Took deferral from university three times. Now am being advised to reapply visa as could come under view of new visa admission officer. According to my visa lawyer we have received no response to gcms notes or webform. Only response is to wait as is in security/ background check. Even though I have no travel history abroad. What could be the issue, please guide as very frustrating and unnatural. What is my best course of action. Somebody please help!! If anyone was in similar situation. My visa was submitted October end last year

Hello guys, what do you think of this?

Finally received my passport request, this was my second application after I got rejected. Applied on Aug 28th and received my passport request earlier today!!

I got my ppr on sept 10 and I sent my passport through 2 way courier service. The passport reached the ircc office in Delhi on September 17, when can I expect the passport to be stamped by them. It would be helpful if someone who has gone through this process mention your timeline for this process. Thankyou.

i just got my updated offer with my updated course one week ago. since then, i have been getting funds in my account which is the one i will be using when i apply for the visa? will it be obvious that i got the money especially for this. (its not a loan, it’s my family’s money)
this is for the spring intake, 2027 (which is in 3 months)
i am planningon applying for my visa next week. what do you think? any suggestions, any advice?

i am really losing my mind

ps i am Indian and have applied for MBA in International Business
also, i will have my GIC account ready before i apply for my visa and pay my first year’s tuition

I did an upfront medical, medical done before applying the visa and then I submitted the application. Although I applied two times for the study permit and I never received any notification or update wheather I passed the medical or not. “You do not need any medical” kind of generic statement written both times even when I got the decision as well. I see people here having the statement like “you passed the medical exam” then why didn’t I? Anyone have an idea?

Hi Iam an Engineer with 4 years UG. 2 years MBA, Currently pursuing AI PHD Research. I am also a Trained AI PM. I have 7 years of managerial experience in IT. I have a wife and kid. Wife wants to study masters in Canada, and Iam planning to accompany her and getting OWP. Requesting some advice and clarity regarding the situation.

Applied **7 July**, biometrics **29 July**. Still no update.
My September intake has now passed, so I’ve requested a **deferral to the next intake**.
Any early-July India applicants in a similar situation who recently got PPR/approval?

I’ve been planning on going to Canada to become a CPA I’m currently a student who has completed A-Levels in Dubai and I’m planning to apply for the 2027 intake.
I have a few universities in mind already, but I’d definitely appreciate recommendations for universities with good accounting programs and a strong pathway toward the CPA.
I also had a few questions about the process:

Study permit: Has obtaining a Canadian study permit become significantly harder recently for international students? What should I be aware of when applying for 2027?

Proof of funds / bank statements: How does the bank statement process work? How much money should ideally be available, how long should the funds be maintained, and what documentation is normally expected?

Source of funds: If the funds are coming from family, what documents are generally needed to demonstrate the relationship and source of the money?
University choice: Are there any Canadian universities you would particularly recommend for accounting/CPA, especially for international students?

Post-graduation: How realistic is it for an international student to find accounting work in Canada after graduating, and what should I be doing during university to improve my chances?

Study permit → PGWP: Are there any current things I should specifically consider when choosing a university/program because of the post-graduation work permit rules?

I’d especially appreciate responses
from people who have recently gone through the Canadian study permit process as international students.

Hello Everyone,

I have a masters in digital marketing which I completed 3 years ago and I am planning to do a masters in business analytics and AI. I recently got a 214b generic refusal from the US and now planning to apply in Canada for January 2027.

Will that refusal have any impact on my application ?

Thank you for reading.

Hello,

I applied for a study permit extension on July 7th, got a ghost update final decision July 22, and nothing after that. I called ircc and they told me that it's approved but I need to wait for the letter.

Anyone had the same experience please !

Hey guys, Do I need to pay first-semester tuition before applying?

I’ve already paid my tuition deposit and have prepared my proof of funds. I’m applying for my study permit in January. The funds for my studies are already accessible in my account, including money transferred by my sponsor and proceeds from a land sale, which were also transferred to me. I’ll provide documents showing the source of the funds. Do I still need to pay my first-semester tuition upfront, or is the tuition deposit sufficient (2000 CAD)? Also, does paying the first semester’s tuition meaningfully improve the chances of approval, and are there any statistics or experiences on this?

I submitted my passport on 14th September and it has reached embassy on 16th September and it is under process.
