Planning your application
An unfinished program, a new semester or an updated passport can mean revisiting your study authorization. Planning an extension starts with the expiry date and conditions on your current permit, alongside the time you need to complete your studies.
How Value Visa can help
We compare your permit, school records and academic timeline, discuss any changes since your original application and help organize the evidence for an extension. Travel plans and any gaps in enrolment should be raised early so the review reflects your full situation.
Your review is specific to your circumstances. We explain the proposed work and confirm fees in writing before beginning. Government fees are separate.
Documents to discuss
Bring the records you already have to the consultation. This starting list does not replace the personalized checklist for your application.
- Current study permit and passport
- Enrolment confirmation and transcripts
- Updated funding evidence
- Expected completion date and explanation of any study gaps
For the initial inquiry, describe your situation and deadlines. Ask us how to share sensitive documents before emailing identity or financial records.
Current official guidance
Requirements, fees and processing information can change. Use the official instructions alongside advice about your own circumstances.

Is extending a study permit the same as renewing a travel visa?
No. A permit and a travel document serve different purposes. Tell us whether you also plan to leave Canada so we can review both needs with you.
What will a consultation cover?
We discuss your goal, immigration history and the documents available, identify questions that need further review and explain the scope of assistance. Fees are confirmed in writing before work begins; government fees are separate.
Can Value Visa guarantee approval or a processing date?
No. IRCC makes immigration decisions, and processing times can change. We help prepare a complete, consistent application and explain the next steps without promising an outcome.
