Expert Answers
If I complete a one-year study program and get a one-year stay back, can I extend my stay by enrolling in another course in UK/Canada?
→Considering the new government rules in Canada, should I join a bachelor degree program or try to get a job as a flight instructor?
→I studied in China for 7 years for my bachelor's degree. For my Canada study permit application, do I need to upload my entry visas and exit stamps, and if so where?
→Yes, your Chinese entry visas and exit stamps must go into this application, since IRCC needs them to confirm your legal status across those years. Place everything in the passport slot of your online form as one combined PDF, adding certified translations wherever a stamp appears only in Chinese script.
As a master's student applying for a Canada study permit, do I have to complete the IMM 5257 form for a temporary resident visa made outside Canada?
→No, you generally do not need IMM 5257 as a separate form. When you apply for your study permit from outside Canada using form IMM 1294, IRCC automatically processes your temporary resident visa or eTA alongside it, unless a background check answer triggers the Schedule 1 sub-form.
