What are the conditions of my study permit?
Answer
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
- other study permit conditions you may need to follow
• You may have other conditions listed on your study permit. You must follow these conditions, which could include:
- the level of studies
- if you’re allowed to work on or off campus as a student in Canada
- if you need to report for medical procedures
- if you’re allowed to travel within Canada, and
- the date you must stop studying.
