Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada as a Student

For help with Completing an application form visit the CIC Help Centre.

If you are in Canada and need to extend your Study Permit and renew your Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), you may submit a separate application for the new TRV to the Case Processing Pilot Office in Ottawa (CPP-O) only after the extension of your Study Permit has been approved.

This application includes the following items:

• Document Checklist [IMM 5555] (PDF, 137 KB)
• Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Student [IMM 5709] (PDF, 415 KB)
• Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union [IMM 5409] (PDF, 97 KB)
• Custodian Declaration [IMM 5646] (PDF, 1 MB)
• Use of a Representative [IMM 5476] (PDF, 55 KB)
• Fees Receipt
  You have two options to obtain a fees receipt:
  1. Payment of fees on the Internet
     If you have PDF Reader software, a printer, and a Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit card, you can pay your fees online.
  2. Payment of fees at a financial institution in Canada
     If you cannot or do not wish to pay online, you must obtain an original receipt form IMM 5401 in order to pay at a financial institution. This form is not available on the website because an original receipt with a unique serial number must be used. You may order an original receipt by mail.
