To clarify things, my study permit expired early in March. However, I did apply to extend my study permit before the expiry date, so I am legally allowed to be in Canada by implied status. About a week ago, I received an email saying my application for the study permit extension was approved. The problem is, I have to leave the country today and the new study permit is still being delivered by mail to my Canadian address. So my questions are:



What should I expect coming to the airport, leaving the country, with an expired study permit? (Note that technically I did not overstay and at no point was I required to leave the country).



How can I go back to Canada if the required documents are in my Canadian address and I will be overseas with an expired Canadian study permit? Should I have someone inside the country mail it to me?



Thank you.

    If someone can mail/courier you the documents, that would be ideal. Otherwise, do you have any other evidence of your study permit having been renewed?

  • Should I have someone inside the country mail it to me? Yes, that would solve all the problems.

    Note to close-voters: this is not a question about moving to Canada to study; this is a question about briefly traveling to & from a country where one is legally resident but does not currently have the papers to prove it. I would think this question fits better on this site than it would on Expats.

  • @MichaelSeifert I disagree. The OPS right to remain in Canada AND their ability to leave and return to Canada are based on a visa/long term study permit which was acquired for a long term stay. That is completely on-topic for expatriates. If you feel that strongly about disagreeing, please note, this question is only on hold, you are able to nominate for reopening.
