Quickly Extending Her Study Permit in Canada for University After Graduating from a Canadian High School, with Support from Her Parents in Japan|Ms. O
Date Posted:June 25, 2026
Last Updated:September 24, 2026
This case involved a student who came to Canada through an exchange program between her Japanese high school and its sister school in Canada. Although she had originally planned to stay for one year, she enjoyed her experience at the Canadian high school so much that she transferred there and eventually graduated.
After graduating from high school in Canada, she decided to attend a Canadian university and therefore needed to extend her Study Permit from within Canada.
In addition to managing the change in her status associated with advancing to university, it was also necessary to remotely coordinate with her parents in Japan to determine which documents they needed to prepare and ensure that all of the documents were consistent and complete.
We successfully guided the application through to approval in time for the start of her university’s new academic year.
The service was excellent, with very thorough and prompt support from immediately after I submitted my application until I received my visa.”

Key Points from the Consultant
With her graduation from a Canadian high school approaching, Ms. O asked us to handle her in-Canada Study Permit extension so that she could begin university in Canada in September 2026. She responded promptly whenever we requested the necessary documents, allowing us to complete and submit her application smoothly shortly after signing the contract. The current processing time for Study Permit applications submitted from within Canada is approximately 67 days. However, her application was approved in about one month, significantly faster than the current average. We sincerely hope that Ms. O will have a fulfilling and successful university experience in Canada, and everyone at our company wishes her all the best in this next chapter of her studies.
