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?

Yes, you can extend your stay in both Canada and the UK by enrolling in another course after completing a one-year study program and using your one-year post-study work period.

- Canada: You must apply for a new study permit before your current status expires. This requires a new letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution and proof of funds for your new course.
- UK: You can extend your Student visa if you have an unconditional offer from a licensed sponsor and your new course is at a higher academic level. Apply before your current visa expires.

Visa rules and processes are subject to change.
