Overview
A study permit extension refusal can leave an international student facing urgent decisions about their immigration status and enrolment. This two-part continuing professional development series will focus on advising students after a refusal, including insufficient financial resources under IRPR 220, loss of study permit validity and non-enrolment under IRPR 222, and related compliance concerns.
Through case discussions, participants will examine refusal reasons, supporting documentation, and the role and boundaries of immigration advising. By the end of the series, participants will be able to assess how a refusal affects a student’s status and ability to study, identify immigration and enrolment options, and outline appropriate next steps.
Learning Outcomes
- Analyze study permit extension refusal reasons, including financial insufficiency under IRPR 220 and issues involving study permit validity and non-enrolment under IRPR 222.
- Assess the implications of a refusal for a student’s immigration status, enrolment and ability to continue studying.
- Evaluate supporting documentation relevant to addressing refusal reasons and determining next steps.
- Develop an appropriate advising response while recognizing the scope and boundaries of their professional role.
