Studying abroad requires a visa, but there are actually several kinds of visas, such as "big visa" and "small visa" in Canada. Now, let's see what kind of visas are big and small, and then decide which one you should apply for.

First, what is the big sign?

That big sign is actually called a study permit. The purpose of this visa is only for students to study here in Canada, but it cannot be used for entry and exit. And according to the students' course time, there will be different validity periods. Generally, the validity period of middle school students is only 1 year, undergraduate students are four years, and graduate students are over one year and two years. If you want to study in Canada after this time, you have to go to the immigration office to extend this time.

Second, what is a small sign?

A passport with a "visa" is called a small sign. This is because the "visa" page is relatively small, so it is called a small sign. This kind of visa can be used for entry and exit, so it is also called an entry visa. In order to avoid the expiration of this visa, if students need to leave Canada temporarily, they must renew their visa first, otherwise they may improve Canada in the future. Even if you leave the country temporarily, you must reapply, otherwise you can't return to Canada.

Large symbols and small symbols cannot be applied at the same time because they have different weights. Only when their study permit has not expired can they apply for a small sign. If both the study permit and the small sign have expired, you must renew the big sign first.

Third, how to renew the big sign?

The renewal can be completed in Canada or returned to China for operation. But no matter where you renew your visa, you must apply when it expires in about 3-4 months. Because the renewal of the big visa needs approval, it may take 2 months or even longer at this time, otherwise it may expire soon, but I haven't got a new one and I can't go back to Canada.

Fourth, the big sign application

1. Before applying, students can test their own situation and make sure they meet the requirements before applying.

When you apply, you usually need to fill in some information, such as what school you went to and when you entered Canada. , and then upload the material according to the list.
