HOW TO EXTEND YOUR CANADIAN STUDY PERMIT + OWP OF SPOUSE 

Hi Luz, we got our extensions as per IRCC processing times. Your video gave us the confidence to do it by ourselves and we got the extension approved. Thanks alot and keep doing such helpful videos. God Bless!

This is the best video on study permit extension out there. Very detailed info.

Grabe this is so direct and clear! Thank you

Hi Luz, this video really helped us to do our extension by ourselves! Thanks a lot for that. All your videos are really helpful! Can I plz ask if you can post a video on how to apply for PGWP plz, will be really helpful! TIA.

Hi! Thanks for the great informative video. I just have one question. You mentioned how long IRCC approved your application but can you give us an idea on how long were you able to recieve the actual study permit?

Thanks you so much. Very detailed and straight to the point

Thank you!! Love from an Indian student!

Thank you so much Ms. Luz for this very helpful video you have made.

Thank you po for making this content. Very helpful and clear. Godbless! 🙏😊

Thanks for the video, Luz. It has been very helpful.

Thank you so very much , I was thinking of using an agent now I think I will just do it myself

Hello Ms. Luz! Thank you for the video 😊 May I ask if you can also please make a video/tutorial on how to apply for the PGWP and SOWP separately? Because we can’t apply together, as my husband has no job yet. Thank you po 🙏🏽

Thank you so much girl❤

Thank you, I have the same situation as you, my programme is 2 years in length but the UNV gave me an Loa that says the admission offer is for 1 year of a 2-year programme and my study permit has just 1 year and 3 months so I will be applying for an extension before it expires

Thank you for this, very helpful ☺️

Good morning, I am currently in Canada with an open temporary work permit. I obtained it through my partner who has a study permit. So she is the main applicant and I am the common-law partner. We are in the process of extending pe and pto Where I'm stuck is completing the document "Request to modify the conditions of stay, extend the stay or remain in Canada as a worker". There are some ambiguous questions: - In the very first part, point 3: "The subject of my request includes one or more of the following points". I have 4 possibilities which are "A work permit for the same employer", "An initial work permit or for a new employer", "Reestablishment of temporary resident status as a worker", "Temporary residence permit". I want to renew my open work permit and therefore keep an open work permit, but this option is not there... Which one?

I am a little confused here. There is a Family Member Proof of Status section and that is where we are required to upload spouse's work permit. Therefore, I believe we only have to upload the spouse's passport in the Passport section under Family Member, and not the work permit as well. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi there, I applied for my study per and suppose’s OWP on October 16, and our old permits is going to expire on 31 December this year. My question is can I continue my studies from January or is need to wait for it. Or can we work on applied status or not ? Thank you 😊 hoping for best reply

Hello. My study permit expires in September 2024 and my study is till December 2024...I have 2 questions 1. I have paid most of my tuition fee and only 1000$ needs to be paid...so how much funds should I show for this duration? 2. If I am being funded by my parents ...what kind of proof/financial documents do I need to provide? Thanks in advance.

Hi Luz, thank you for your video. I'm a single international student and I'm using your video during my process. But I would like to know about the passport photo. Can I upload a scanned photo? Or it has to be taken and saved digitally by the photographer?

Hello, thanks for the video. I hope you can answer some of my questions 1. Can apply 2-3 months before the expiration of the permit? 2. Extension and renewal are the same? So does it mean once my permit got expired i can still study and my wife can still work while waiting for the new permit?

That’s really helpful. Thank you so much 👍🏻

Thank you Luz for the detailed walkthrough. @Everyone Anyone applied starting Nov 2023 got a response yet? Completed mine 26 Nov and no answer yet. Called them after the processing days exceeded and was told it will be put through to the processing office. 2 weeks have passed since and still no update

Thank you good explanation 👏👏👏👌👌

Thank you so much for this tutorial it was very helpful i was real lost how to apply

Hello! Thank you for detailed info! Can you please clarify what is certificate of expenses under your name? If I understood well. You mentioned it im a part for proof of funds. Thank you!

Thanks for the video, i have a question if you can answer it, my study permit was applied with the help of a consultant, and now can I renew on my own or am I dependent on the consultant who had created my study permit or do I need any information from the consultant?

Thank you so much❤

Hey Luz! Thank you so much for this video. I followed same steps as on this video and I have a question What are the documents required for spouse? I can only see option for passport. What other documents are needed for spouse? Don’t we need to provide proof of funds, bank balance certificate etc for spouse? And if needed how much? And do we need to attach employment letter too? Please do reply

Hi Luz thanks for the video. I have a quick question. My study permit is going to expire this April along with my wife's OWP . Is this process going to be the same, if we both had applied for our visas separately before coming to Canada? We have separate GC keys

Thanks. Very helpful. I’m planning to take another program. Btw do I still need to prove Home ties?

Hi Luz, I just saw your youtube videos and it is very helpful. I just want to extend my OWP and Dependent children my question is it the same format in your video or I will not include myself for their extension? AS my study permit will expire on November 2024 but for my dependents is on JULY 2024.

Hey, thanks for this video. I have a question. I have applied to extend my study permit. How do you get the new study permit issued or printed out, after you receive your passport request and POE introduction letter?

Hi, Thanks for this info. I have few questions. Don’t we need to do medical exams to apply for study+Owp extensions? What if I didn’t receive the extension before the expiry date of my current permit?

Hi, Thanks for the detailed information. Could you kindly let me know how much I have to show as proof of funds under the student's account?

Hi Luz.. thank you for this. I also did my first extension as DIY.. together with the initial OWP application of my CLP. We are planning to lodge for both of our extension. It’s my second extension and first extension for my CLP..I just want to know if what to choose in the OWP IMM form 1057e about item 3 “I am applying for one or more of the following:.. Thank you in advance. :)

Hello, My study permit expires on 31st March 2024 but my final term ends on 26th April 2024. For how long should I apply my study permit extension? I already paid my full course fee. Can I show the full course amount under financial section? And do i have to show my current financial document or previous one will work?

Hello luz! Gr8 video exlaining important points. My study pemrit is expiring on 1st October 2024. Can I apply for extension 5-6 months in advance. Also is study permit extended for the time period you want plus extra 90 days, if you need time to find job after graduation?

Hello, thank you for sharing this. I would like to ask why you didn’t put in for the first and second extension at the same time? What would you advise someone with similar issue who needs to extend her current study permit because she was issued that based on the resumption date of September 2022 with the intention of her program ending in April 2023. However, her visa was delayed and she got a deferment to resume school in January 2023 meanwhile, the study will be ending in August but her study permit is currently showing July 2023. Now, she needs that to be extended and an extension means that they will give her extra three months (August-November). Her case two is that she already secured a second admission to resume January 2024 so she is of the opinion that she applies for both the first degree extension and her new admission extension. What would you advise?

Hello girl! ❤

Thank you very much for the video. I am confused about study visa and study permit. For me both of them expire the same day, If I need to apply them separately?

Hi! Thank you so much for this videos! I have a question, my husband' study permit expire on march 2024 and my opw on January. We are on the process for our renewals, but he is finishing his program en april (so the renewal wil be only for a month) is that mean that my renewal is going to be also for a month? Thank you!

On my study permit application, I apply at single, but I will be married soon. How do I update my marital status, and would I submit my marriage certificate with the study permit extension?

Thank you so much 🥰

Hi po, Ms Luz. Thank you for uploading this video. It's really helpful. Just to ask lang din po, okay lang po ba na un pof namin ay nasa CA bank ni husband? Like bank cert and statement that will be provided ay under his name not mine? Thank you po

Hi, I have a GC Key account but it does not give me the same options as what you shown here. The system does not allow me to put Canada as my current residence. I created an IRCC secure account but there’s no option to apply for study permit.

Could you please advise, what will happen for Spouse Work while student have 1 term break before joining the second course. Does spouse can work if the work permit got extended and even after student got completion certificate from 1st Course? Is there any requirement similar to PGWP, that student should get job with NOC 0, A or B.

Hi! Thank you for the video, that was really informative and helpful! I have a question about the spouse’s photo. Do you know where it should be uploaded?

My pgwp and my wife’s sowp is expiring in june 2024. Due to passport exiration, I received 8 months less work permit. Currently I am working under TEER 0 category. Can I apply extension through gc key of my pgwp and my wife’s sowp together? Please guide

Good video!!!

Please let me know how long the process takes. How long do we have to wait for the results? I submitted my application with the help your video, and I have been awaiting a response for 50 days.

We applied for my husband’s study permit extension and my spouse visa together. Firstly, we got a correspondence letter that our visa application is being viewed. Last night(20 Dec 2023), the main applicant’s visa ,which is his study visa extension, was approved. But mine is still in progress. When do we know SWOP visa result? How long does it take?

Does anyone has idea about the processing time. Current processing time for study permit extension is 69 days while work permit extension is 109. So which one would be applicable to group application study permit extension plus work permit extension.

Hi Luz, what could be the reason that some people (single) get their study permit extension within 2-3 weeks and others wait upto 3 months?

It’s been 135 days still no update, already raised webform got an answer yeah we are having so much backlogs. I applied for sowp extension and study permit extension together on 23rd may

@simplyluz so if we can submit file for husband wife in one file in that case suppose wife is primary applicant then can we have to submit husband documents in same file. For example if i am putting my wife’s passport scan copy in same pdf should i put mine as well ?

Hi, this is informative. Actually I just received my PGWP for 3 years and now I’ve to apply for my wife’s OWP extension. She now have till September 2023. So, do I need a NOC B or above Full time Job to support the application spouse OWP extension ?

Very helpful ❤❤❤

PLEASE REPLY !!! I have downloaded the IMM5709e form but when I open it in Acrobat, it says the validity of the document certification is UNKNOWN. The author could not be verified. But in your video it says certified by IRCC. It's not the same with my case. I have filled everything and it did get validated and got barcodes but I am afraid if I should submit the application if it has such message at the top. Please help, it has been late for my extension.

Hi Luz, saan nyo po inupload yung digital photo ni spouse? Dun ba sa optional docs lang?

thank you for your helpful video Luz, but in my case, my study permit is valid till march 2024, my wife need to extend her OWP as she was given just 6 month at the port of entry because her passport was about to expire when she came in, now she have the new one, so my question is, is it possible to apply for her alone using these same steps? Note my study permit is active till march. i will love to read a reply from you on how i can go about it, thanks in advance for your tips.

Great explanation.
