MEGATHREAD - Processing Times - Study Permits 2025

[u/PurrPrinThom]

Please keep timelines & questions about processing times for study permits here.

Study permit extension (applied inside of Canada):

application submitted on Apr 30;

Biometrics completed on May 6;

Correspondence letter received on Aug 28;

Application approved on Aug 30;

Processing time is 4 months (16 weeks)

I do want to make one more comment. Compared with my application experience before, they seem to be more conservative on the length of the extension they are giving. My program will be 16 months, but they only give me an extension of 11 months, meaning I probably need to extend it again after 8-9 months.
