作为加拿大的国际学生，保持移民文件有效是头等大事。本指南将带你逐步了解延长学习许可（俗称"大签"）的所有关键环节，并说明何时需要续签你的临时居民签证（TRV）或电子旅行授权（eTA）。维持合法身份对于不间断地继续学业和合法居留在加拿大至关重要。我们将涵盖申请资格、申请时间线、所需文件、网申与纸申流程、生物识别信息采集、恢复身份、常见问题以及获批后的注意事项。
1. Understanding Your Study Permit and Visa | 理解你的学习许可与签证
The study permit is the document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows you to study at a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada. It is not a travel document. To enter or re-enter Canada, most students need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) placed in their passport, or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) if they are from a visa-exempt country. The study permit often expires 90 days after your program completion date, but you must apply for an extension before it expires if you need more time to finish your studies.
学习许可是由加拿大移民、难民和公民部（IRCC）签发，允许你在加拿大指定学习机构（DLI）学习的文件。它不是旅行证件。大多数学生需要持护照上的临时居民签证（TRV），或如果来自免签国家则需电子旅行授权（eTA）才能入境或再次入境加拿大。学习许可通常在你课程完成日期后90天到期，但若你需要更多时间完成学业，则必须在到期前申请延期。
2. When to Apply for a Study Permit Extension | 何时申请学习许可延期
You should submit your extension application at least 30 days before your current study permit expires. Ideally, apply 3 to 4 months in advance to account for processing delays. If you apply before your permit expires, you can remain in Canada under "maintained status" (formerly implied status) and continue studying under the same conditions until a decision is made. Do not wait until the last week; IRCC processing times can vary from a few weeks to several months depending on application volumes and your country of origin.
你应该在当前学习许可到期前至少30天递交延期申请。理想情况下提前3到4个月申请，以应对审理延迟。如果在许可到期前申请，你可以在"维持身份"（原称默认身份）下留在加拿大，并依照原有条件继续学习，直到收到决定为止。不要等到最后一周；IRCC的审理时间可能会因申请量和来源国不同而波动，从几周到几个月不等。
3. Eligibility Requirements for Extension | 延期申请的资格要求
To be eligible for a study permit extension, you must be enrolled at a DLI and actively pursuing your studies. You need to show that you are making reasonable progress towards completing your program. If you have been on an authorized leave or have changed programs or institutions, you must provide supporting documents. You must also prove that you have enough money to cover your tuition fees and living expenses for yourself and any accompanying family members. Additionally, you must not have violated any conditions of your current study permit, such as working more hours than permitted.
要有资格申请学习许可延期，你必须在一所指定学习机构（DLI）注册，并且正在积极学习。你需要证明自己在完成课程方面取得合理进展。如果你曾经请过获批的假期，或更换了课程或学校，则必须提供证明文件。你还必须证明有足够资金支付自己和任何随行家属的学费和生活费。此外，你不得违反当前学习许可的任何条件，比如超出允许的工作小时数。
4. Gathering the Required Documents | 收集所需文件
A complete application requires several up-to-date documents. The main checklist includes: a valid passport (with at least six months validity recommended), your current study permit, an enrolment letter from your DLI confirming full-time registration and program end date, official transcripts or recent grade reports, proof of financial support such as bank statements, a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC), scholarship letters, or sponsorship letters, a letter of explanation detailing why you need the extension and your study plan, and a digital photo meeting IRCC specifications. If you have dependent family members, you will need their documents too.
一份完整的申请需要若干最新文件。主要清单包括：有效护照（建议至少有六个月有效期）、当前学习许可、来自DLI的录取信或注册证明，确认全日制注册状态及课程结束日期、官方成绩单或近期的成绩报告、资金证明如银行对账单、担保证明书（GIC）、奖学金函或资助函、详细说明为何需要延期以及你的学习计划的解释信，以及符合IRCC规格的数码照片。若有随行家庭成员，则也需要他们的文件。
5. Understanding Financial Proof Requirements | 了解资金证明要求
You must demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to support yourself and any family members while you study. As a single student, the minimum funds required beyond tuition fees are CAD 10,000 per year for living expenses (CAD 11,000 if studying in Quebec). For each additional family member, the amounts increase. Acceptable financial proof includes bank statements from the past four months, proof of a Canadian bank account in your name, a GIC from a participating Canadian financial institution, proof of a student or education loan, or a letter from a person or institution providing you with money.
你必须证明有足够资金在学习期间支持自己和家人。作为单身学生，除学费外每年最低生活费要求为10,000加元（在魁北克学习则为11,000加元）。每增加一名家庭成员，金额相应增加。可接受的资金证明包括过去四个月的银行对账单、你名下的加拿大银行账户证明、参与计划的加拿大金融机构出具的GIC、学生或教育贷款证明，或由个人或机构提供资助的信函。
6. How to Apply Online via IRCC Portal | 如何通过IRCC门户网申
Applying online is the fastest and recommended method. First, sign in to your IRCC secure account or create one. Under "Apply for a study permit", select "Visitor visa, study and/or work permit" and then choose "Study". Answer the eligibility questionnaire honestly; the system will generate a personalized document checklist. Upload scanned copies of all required forms and supporting documents in the accepted formats. Pay the application fee online using a credit or debit card. The current fee for a study permit extension is CAD 150. If you need to restore your status, an additional restoration fee of CAD 229 applies.
在线申请是最快且推荐的方式。首先，登录你的IRCC安全账户或创建一个。在"申请学习许可"下，选择"访问签证、学习和/或工作许可"，然后选择"学习"。如实填写资格问卷；系统会生成个性化的文件清单。以接受的格式上传所有所需表格和证明文件的扫描件。使用信用卡或借记卡在线支付申请费。目前学习许可延期的费用为150加元。若需要恢复身份，则需额外支付229加元的恢复费用。
7. Completing the Application Forms Accurately | 准确填写申请表格
The main form for extension is IMM 5709 – Application to Change Conditions, Extend My Stay or Remain in Canada as a Student. Fill it out electronically, validate it, and print the barcode pages if a signature is required. You may also need to complete the Family Information form IMM 5707 and the Statutory Declaration of Common-law Union if applicable. Every detail must match your passport and other supporting documents. Double-check dates, DLI number, and spellings. Any inconsistency can lead to processing delays or refusal.
延期申请的主表格是IMM 5709——更改条件、延长逗留或以学生身份留在加拿大的申请表。以电子方式填写、验证，并打印条形码页（若需要签名）。你可能还需要填写家庭信息表IMM 5707，如适用，还要填写同居伴侣法定声明。每个细节必须与护照和其他支持文件一致。仔细核对日期、DLI编号和拼写。任何不一致都可能导致审理延迟或拒签。
8. Biometrics Appointment and Requirements | 生物识别预约与要求
If you have never given biometrics before for a study permit application, or if your previous biometrics have expired (they are valid for 10 years), you will need to provide them. After submitting your online application and paying the biometrics fee of CAD 85, you will receive a Biometrics Instruction Letter (BIL). Book an appointment at a designated Service Canada location or a Visa Application Centre (VAC) outside Canada if you exit. You must give your fingerprints and photograph within 30 days of receiving the BIL. Biometrics can be done in Canada if you are applying to extend your stay.
如果你之前未曾为学习许可申请提供过生物识别信息，或之前的生物识别信息已过期（有效期10年），你将需要提供。在提交网申并支付85加元生物识别费后，你会收到一封生物识别指示信（BIL）。在加拿大境内的指定Service Canada网点，或若你在境外，则在签证申请中心（VAC）预约。必须在收到BIL后30天内录入指纹和照片。如果你正在申请延长居留，可以在加拿大境内完成生物识别。
9. Restoration of Status If Your Permit Has Expired | 许可过期后的身份恢复
If your study permit has already expired, you may still apply to restore your status within 90 days of the expiry date. You must not have continued studying or working after your permit expired unless you were on maintained status due to a timely extension application. Restoration requires the same forms and documents as an extension, plus an explanation letter stating the reason for the late application. You must also pay the restoration fee. If more than 90 days have passed, you are generally out of options and should leave Canada, possibly applying for a new study permit from outside.
如果你的学习许可已经过期，你仍可在过期之日起90天内申请恢复身份。但你必须没有在许可过期后继续学习或工作，除非因按时提交延期申请而处于维持身份状态。恢复身份需要与延期相同的表格和文件，外加一封解释信说明逾期申请的原因。你还必须支付恢复费用。如果超过90天，通常别无选择，应离开加拿大，并可能从境外申请新的学习许可。
10. Renewing Your TRV or eTA After Extension Approval | 延期获批后续签TRV或eTA
Once you receive your new study permit in the mail, note that this document alone does not allow you to re-enter Canada if you travel. You must have a valid TRV in your passport or a valid eTA linked to your passport. If your TRV has expired and you plan to leave and return to Canada, apply for a new TRV from within Canada using the IRCC portal; the process is separate from your study permit extension. Similarly, ensure your eTA remains valid. Without a valid entry document, you may be denied boarding or entry at the border.
一旦你收到邮寄来的新学习许可，请注意仅凭此文件不能让你在旅行后重新入境。你必须持有护照上的有效TRV，或与护照关联的有效eTA。如果你的TRV已过期且你计划离境并返回加拿大，请通过IRCC门户从加拿大境内申请新的TRV；该流程与学习许可延期分开。同样，确保你的eTA仍然有效。没有有效的入境文件，你可能被拒绝登机或在边境被拒绝入境。
11. Common Reasons for Refusal and How to Avoid Them | 常见拒签原因及如何避免
Refusals often stem from insufficient financial proof, lack of a clear study plan, inconsistent academic history, or failure to maintain full-time status. Always provide a strong letter of explanation that outlines your academic progress and future goals. Include transcripts showing you are actively studying. If you switched to part-time studies without authorization or had gaps, explain them upfront with supporting evidence. Another pitfall is submitting an outdated form or forgetting to sign. Use the latest IRCC forms and review your application several times before submission.
拒签常常源于资金证明不足、学习计划不清晰、学术记录不一致，或未能保持全日制身份。务必提供有力的解释信，概述你的学业进展和未来目标。附上显示你正在积极学习的成绩单。如果你在未经授权的情况下转为非全日制学习，或出现学业空档，请用支持性证据提前解释。另一个陷阱是提交过期表格或忘记签名。请使用IRCC最新表格，并在递交前多次审核申请。
12. After Submission: Tracking and Final Steps | 递交之后：追踪进度与最终步骤
After you submit, you will receive an acknowledgment of receipt. You can link your application to your online account for real-time status updates. IRCC may request additional documents or schedule an interview, though interviews are rare for study permit extensions. Once approved, the new study permit will be mailed to your Canadian address. Check the details for errors immediately. Keep your old permit for your records. Then, update your Social Insurance Number (SIN) expiry date at Service Canada if you have one, as your SIN validity is tied to your study permit.
递交后，你会收到确认收据。可将申请关联到你的在线账户以获取实时状态更新。IRCC可能会要求补充文件或安排面试，但学习许可延期很少需要面试。一旦获批，新学习许可将邮寄到你加拿大的地址。立即检查信息是否正确。保留旧许可存档。然后，如果你有社会保险号码（SIN），请到Service Canada更新SIN的有效期，因为SIN有效期与学习许可挂钩。
