Study Visa Extension
What is a Study Visa?

International students may require a study visa extension to complete their studies in Canada. R Immigration Services Inc. specializes in assisting students with the study visa extension process, ensuring that they can focus on their educational goals without any disruptions.

There are several reasons why international students may need to extend their study visas while studying in Canada. Some common reasons include:

  1. Program Extension: If a student’s academic program takes longer to complete than initially anticipated, they may need to extend their study visa to cover the additional time required to finish their studies.
  2. Change of Program: If students switch programs or institutions, they may require additional time to complete the new program. In such cases, a study visa extension may be necessary.
  3. Co-op or Internship: Some programs may have a co-op or internship component that extends the duration of the program. In these instances, students may need to extend their study visas to accommodate the additional time required for work placements.
  4. Pursuing a Higher Degree: Students who decide to pursue further education, such as moving from a diploma program to a degree program or from a bachelor’s to a master’s program, may need to extend their study visa to cover the additional study period.
  5. Medical or Personal Reasons: Unforeseen medical or personal issues may cause a student to take a temporary leave of absence or reduce their course load, extending the duration of their program. In such cases, a study visa extension may be required.

These are the most common factors.
