The client was studying at a university in Vancouver and had used the firm for an earlier study permit application. The extension application was submitted on December 18, 2024 and approved on January 8, 2025, with the approval letter extending the permit to March 31, 2028.
The Korean write-up sets the case against 2025 study permit conditions, citing an allocation of 437,000 permits, 10 percent below the 2024 target of 485,000, with the reduction continuing to 2026, and the introduction of the attestation letter requirement. It also cites 231,000 refusals and a 46 percent refusal rate, which it describes as the highest in four years.
The rest of the write-up lists mistakes it says are common in extension applications: missing required documents such as proof of funds or proof of enrolment, inconsistent information between the passport, enrolment and financial documents, and typing errors on the application form.
