What are the conditions of my study permit?

As a study permit holder, you need to meet a number of conditions. If you don't meet these conditions, you may lose your student status and study permit. You may also have to leave Canada.
•As a study permit holder, you must:
- be enrolled at a designated learning institution (DLI), unless you're exempt
- show you’re actively pursuing your studies, unless you’re exempt, by
- being enrolled full-time or part-time during each academic semester (excluding regularly scheduled breaks)
- making progress towards completing your program’s courses, and
- not taking authorized leaves longer than 150 days from your study program
- tell IRCC any time you change post-secondary schools
- end your studies if you no longer meet the requirements of being a student, and
- leave Canada when your permit expires

You may have other conditions listed on your study permit. You must follow these conditions, which could include:

- the date you must stop studying.
