What do I do if there is a mistake on my study permit?
Answer
You have the option to amend your study permit if there is a mistake on your current one. For instance, if you are entitled to work in Canada but your study permit does not include the authorization to “may work” or “may accept employment,” you can initiate an amendment to your study permit. This should be done prior to engaging in employment activities or obtaining your Social Insurance Number.
The process involves submitting a paper application for the amendment of your study permit. If you are currently in Canada and wish to proceed with this amendment, please refer to IRCC's Request to Amend Valid Temporary Resident Documents or Information Contained in the Confirmation of Permanent Residence web page for instructions.
