Study Permit Policy Expires June 27, 2026: What This Means for International Students

The Deadline (TODAY: June 27, 2026)

Study-without-permit exemption ends TODAY.

What this means: Students who don't have valid study permits as of June 27 are now non-compliant.

Who Is Affected

• International students continuing studies past June 27
• Students whose programs extend beyond today

Consequences of Non-Compliance

• ❌ Lose study permit compliance
• ❌ Cannot work legally (even on-campus)
• ❌ Jeopardize post-graduation work permit eligibility
• ❌ May be deported if status not regularized

What To Do NOW

If your studies continue past June 27:

1. Check your study permit expiry date
2. If expired: renew IMMEDIATELY at IRCC website
3. Get letter from school confirming enrollment
4. Submit renewal application online

Bottom Line

Study exemption ends TODAY. If you're still in school and your permit is expired, renew immediately to maintain compliance. Delay risks deportation and future immigration eligibility.
