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!
To be honest I was almost giving up doing it by myself, but I'm glad I found your video, it was the first I found that was "recent" ans has also the OWP. I'm applying today so wish me luck!
I have seen so many videos on study permit + SOWP extension posted by Indian youtubers, however this video is the most comprehensive and clearly done one, hats off to Luz for helping people who are applying from within Canada for their extensions, thanks for sharing this....good luck
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.
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
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?
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
@@SimplyLuz May i ask … did you apply for the study permit and spouse open work permit extension at the same time? And on the 7 months delay… so the student had continued with studies whilst waiting for extension?
@@nomagugusibanda359 Hi. Yes, we applied at the same time and I continued studying because my permit was still valid for 8 months when we applied. The earlier the better.
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!
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?
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.
Please don't get me wrong. I am genuinely confused and curious. Did you guys upload the spouse's work permit twice? First under the Family Member Proof of Status section and the second time under the Passport section along with the passport?
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.
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. :)
Hi Luz, your videos are so much helpful. As you have a great knowledge, I need to ask some questions. I applied for a study permit extension along with my wife's open work permit extension for my first course. Now I want to apply for second extension and the first one is still under processing. What do I do now? And people are saying my wife's open work permit will be rejected because after May March 2024 they stopped giving open work permit to spouses of college students. But we are already on shore and she does have a open work permit which is expired. But it's still under processing of extension. So can you suggest me in this situation what to do? Shall I raise a waveform and put the second courses information in that? I'm eagerly waiting for your reply. Thanks a lot
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
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?
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?
Also, this person has a spouse and would be applying for a work permit for her spouse. Would you advise that she merge all together and explain in her letter of intention why she is seeking for both extensions at the same time. Please let me know why you chose to do yours in bit. I mean the first and second application. Thank you, I look forward to your response
Hi Luz! We sent our student and work permit extension on March 1st, and we finally got them approved yesterday (not delivered yet). However, they put my wife’s maiden name instead of her current married name. Can you please advise? We want to apply for our visas now.
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?
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. If you are working or will work in the health industry dealing with patients, you will need an updated medical exam. Otherwise, no medical required. As long as you submitted your application before expiry, you will be on implied status and that is fine.
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!
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?
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.
Hi Luz, thank you for this very informative video. I would just like to ask something because I have already applied for my PGWP and now waiting for approval. Then I will separately apply for an extension of my spouse OWP and child's student permit as soon as I get an employment letter and pay slips. Whose GC key will I use to extend my spouse OWP and my kid's student permit? Thank you
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.
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?
Hello. Study permit is the paper document allowing you to stay in Canada while the study visa is the stamp on your passport. You can stay in Canada with a valid study permit even though your visa is expired provided that you won’t go out of the country. If you will be out of the country, you need to renew your visa.
Hi thank you for this video but i have a question if you could answer please. I am not in canada right now im on vacation for 2 months in my homeland. i will come back to Canada before my study permit expires,but do i still put Canada as my current residance? Because if I put My homeland it does not take me to the study permit extension but to a completely new permit application. Thank you
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 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
@baaghi: you got your extension or any update on file? I applied on sept 2nd and have not received any update as of now. Study permit & sowp extension.
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.
Hello, I’ve heard of people who submitted only $5,000 in proof of funds when extending their permits, and they were approved. However, that’s their experience and may not apply to everyone. You can decide if you want to do the same. It’s preferable if your parents can transfer the funds to your account. This way, the money will be in your name, and you won’t need to provide additional supporting documents.
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.
Hey Luz, i just want to ask is it ok if i create a new GC key and apply for my extension without using my previous one as it is operating by agency and they didnt share it to me. please reply. Thanks.
Hi, in the uploading the imm 5710e form, the portal shows this message (your status expiry date in the answer you provided previously does not correspond to the restoration in your form. modify your answers or the value in your form) I have fill the all information and same expire status date. Could you help me
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
Hi. If IRCC informed you that they have some backlogs, then all you can do is wait. On my last extension, we waited for 7 months before we received the results.
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.

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
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?
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.
@@SimplyLuz thanks for your quick response Liz, on my IRCC account both her immigration details and my son’s are there, so do I need to open up a new account for her to apply alone? As am not seeing where I can apply for her alone whenever I log in.
Hello Luz my passport is expiring in June of this year and I want to extend my study permit along with my wife work permit but she is not in Canada she just got her visa as sowp .. so do I need to apply for both extensions? And do I need to apply for visa as well cause in my passport it’s says we can stay in Canada until July ? Can you help me out ? My course is of 2 years but due to the passport expiry date my visa is expiring
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?
@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. You must submit the files separately. On the website, there are separate fields for the principal applicant and dependent applicants to upload their documents.
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?
@@Flipflopz__ for the extension, it’s ok if you were part time student, but if you will apply for PGWP, I believe the requirement is you need to have studied as full time student all throughout your studies.
Hi Luz, im here in the phils and waiting for my study visa. It's been 3 months since i filed my application for Sep term. Since today is Sep1, we can no longer attend the Sep term ang thought of deferring to April, next year term. Do we only need to send via webform of change of school term? Thank you
Hello. Webform is for changes of contact information only like address, marriage, employment, etc. It can also be used for following up if your application exceeded the normal processing time. What will happen is if you get your approval this year, you can go here in Canada before your class starts in April and just apply for extension and reason is deferment.
Hello my passport is expiring in June of this year and I want to extend my study permit along with my wife work permit but she is not in Canada she just got her visa as sowp .. so do I need to apply for both extensions?

@@jaivinjames Yes there is an IRCC update last Jan 2023 about intl students not required to have NOC B jobs to extend their owp but I don't know anyone who did this personally.

Hi mam. Ask lng po, I want to provide a letter of explanation for our extension, family of 5 but I can't upload the letter in the client info. I appreciate some help. Thank you
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.
It depends with IRCC. I mentioned in this video that for my 1st, I waited for 2 months, for 2nd, it was 5 months and for the last extension, it took 7 months.
Hi my question is me and my husand applied for the extension on 22 january 2024 our permit will be expired In this April so like it's normal that when we apply with spouse it will take longer time.??
Hi do I need noc b position to extend my husband sowp? If i need is it necessary to increase the wage rate aswell or it would be ok with 15.50 per hour?
Hi. There’s a new IRCC announcement last January that student’s are not required to have specific Noc jobs to extend their dependents. Any NOC will do.
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?
Hi. Please see below answers: 1. Yes, it’s advisable to apply as early as possible. 2. Yes again, you can continue studying and working even if your permit expired as long as you submitted your application before expiry. That is called “implied status”.
helo can you help me regarding actually my lawyer applied the status with my spouse on feb 16 and no results is coming now and if i get visa on border it is easy or no we need to wait
Hello. I just want to ask, regarding sa POF, combined funds po namin ni husband ung i-sesend namin, family of 4 kami then we only have 23kCAD (combined funds) and we also have funds from PHL that I will include din po on our application.

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?

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?
Hi. You can upload a scanned photo.
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. If you are working or will work in the health industry dealing with patients, you will need an updated medical exam. Otherwise, no medical required.
As long as you submitted your application before expiry, you will be on implied status and that is fine.
Thanks for the reply! It means a lot

How much is the POf for extension
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!
Hi. If he will finish in April, you will be given extra 3 months after the program so your new expiry should be July.
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?
Hi. You can do the extension on your own. You can get your gckey login info from your consultants or you can create your own.
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.
Dependent extension question #internationalstudentscanada
@barbaraclarkalpuerto4085 and Ms. Luz, I also wanted to know the procedure regarding this case. I appreciate your guidance po. Thank you po.
Hi Luz, thank you for this very informative video. I would just like to ask something because I have already applied for my PGWP and now waiting for approval. Then I will separately apply for an extension of my spouse OWP and child's student permit as soon as I get an employment letter and pay slips. Whose GC key will I use to extend my spouse OWP and my kid's student permit? Thank you
@@RaidaCabahit hi. You can use your own gckey.
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.
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?
Hello. Study permit is the paper document allowing you to stay in Canada while the study visa is the stamp on your passport. You can stay in Canada with a valid study permit even though your visa is expired provided that you won’t go out of the country. If you will be out of the country, you need to renew your visa.
Hi thank you for this video but i have a question if you could answer please. I am not in canada right now im on vacation for 2 months in my homeland. i will come back to Canada before my study permit expires,but do i still put Canada as my current residance? Because if I put My homeland it does not take me to the study permit extension but to a completely new permit application. Thank you
Hi. I suggest to apply for your extension when you come back here in Canada. By doing that, you’ll be able to access the study permit extension page.
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 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.

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.
Hello,
I’ve heard of people who submitted only $5,000 in proof of funds when extending their permits, and they were approved. However, that’s their experience and may not apply to everyone. You can decide if you want to do the same.
It’s preferable if your parents can transfer the funds to your account. This way, the money will be in your name, and you won’t need to provide additional supporting documents.
@@SimplyLuzthank you so much
Thanks. Very helpful. I’m planning to take another program. Btw do I still need to prove Home ties?
Hello. Glad you find the video helpful. No need to prove home ties. 🙂
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.
Hey Luz, i just want to ask is it ok if i create a new GC key and apply for my extension without using my previous one as it is operating by agency and they didnt share it to me.

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?
Hi. You need to fill out a web form if you already submitted your application.
Thank you so much 🥰
@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. You must submit the files separately. On the website, there are separate fields for the principal applicant and dependent applicants to upload their documents.
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?
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?
Hi. Yes, it’s advisable to apply as early as possible. Yes again, you will be given 3 months after graduation on your permit.
@@Flipflopz__ for the extension, it’s ok if you were part time student, but if you will apply for PGWP, I believe the requirement is you need to have studied as full time student all throughout your studies.
Thank you good explanation 👏👏👏👌👌
Hi Luz, im here in the phils and waiting for my study visa. It's been 3 months since i filed my application for Sep term. Since today is Sep1, we can no longer attend the Sep term ang thought of deferring to April, next year term. Do we only need to send via webform of change of school term? Thank you
Hello. Webform is for changes of contact information only like address, marriage, employment, etc. It can also be used for following up if your application exceeded the normal processing time.
What will happen is if you get your approval this year, you can go here in Canada before your class starts in April and just apply for extension and reason is deferment.
