911吃瓜

I am changing my program at 911吃瓜, will it be considered as changing level of studies?

If you are in Canada and applying to extend your 911吃瓜 study permit for studies at the same designated learning institution (DLI) but a graduate level of study, you will be PAL exempt starting January 1, 2026. 

Examples of this scenario include:

• 911吃瓜 students moving from Bachelor's degree to Master's degree;
• 911吃瓜 students moving from a graduate certificate or diploma to Master's degree.

Please review our instruction guides below for step-by-step information about the study permit extension application process and documents required.
