2. Study Permit with Conditional Admission
For students who must first complete language training (English/French) or preparatory (Pathway) courses before beginning their main academic program. Issued in phases and extended after completion of initial requirements.

3. Study Permit with Family Accompanying
Ideal for mature students or postgraduate applicants. Allows the primary applicant to bring their spouse on an open work permit and dependent children on visitor/study permits.

4. Secondary School Study Permit
For minor students (usually under 18) attending primary or secondary school in Canada. Requires a custodianship declaration if under the age of majority in the province.

5. Study Permit Extension
For students already in Canada needing more time to complete their program. Must be applied for before the current permit expires.

6. Restoration of Status with Study Permit
For students who have lost their status (e.g., expired permit) and wish to restore it. Must apply within 90 days of losing status.

7. Study Without a Permit
If your course or program is 6 months or less and can be completed within your authorized stay (e.g., short language courses), you may not require a permit.

Important Note:

Most applicants must submit a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) or Territorial Attestation Letter (TAL) with their study permit application.

If you plan to study in Quebec, you will need an Attestation of Issuance of the Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) from the Government of Quebec.

🔁 Inadmissibility

Fighting inadmissibility to Canada depends on the reason you're considered inadmissible. Inadmissibility means you're not allowed to enter or stay in Canada due to certain legal, medical, or security concerns. However, there are legal ways to challenge, overcome, or get an exemption from inadmissibility.

🛑 Grounds of Inadmissibility in Canada

You may be found inadmissible for reasons such as:

1. Criminal Inadmissibility (e.g., DUI, theft, assault)
2. Misrepresentation     (e.g., false documents, hidden facts)
3. Medical Inadmissibility (danger to public health or excessive demand)
4. Security Grounds (e.g., terrorism, espionage)
5. Financial Reasons (inability to support oneself)
6. Human Rights Violations
7. Inadmissible Family Member
8. Non-compliance with IRPA (e.g., overstaying, unauthorized work)

🔧 How to Fight or Overcome Inadmissibility

1. 🔁 Apply for Criminal Rehabilitation

• For foreign nationals with past criminal convictions.
• You may be eligible 5 or 10 years after completing your sentence.
• Once approved, you are no longer inadmissible for those offences.

👉 Best for: DUI, theft, assault, fraud, etc.

2. 📄 Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)

• Allows you to enter/stay in Canada temporarily despite being inadmissible.
• You must show a compelling reason to enter (e.g., business, family      emergency).

👉 Valid from 1 day to 3 years, depending on case strength.

3. ⚖️ Appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)

• For permanent residents or sponsored family members.
• You can appeal a removal order or refusal if eligible.
• Must file within 30 days of receiving decision.

4. 🏛️ Judicial Review in Federal Court

• If you believe the decision was procedurally unfair or legally incorrect,      you can challenge it.
• File for Leave and Judicial Review within 15–60 days.

👉 You cannot submit new evidence, only argue on legal basis.

5. ❤️ Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) Grounds

• If you are inadmissible but removal would cause extreme hardship, you can apply for PR under H&C.
• Can  be based on:
  • Best interests of children
  • Establishment in Canada
  • Health or family issues

    

6. 📋 Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA)

• For people facing removal/deportation.
• Assesses if you'll face torture, persecution, or danger in home country.
• Only available in certain conditions.

🔁CAIPS:  

✅ What Are CAIPS Notes?

CAIPS (used for paper-based applications) and GCMS (Global Case Management System) notes (used for most current applications) contain:

• Full history of your visa application
• Officer's internal notes and comments
• Reason for refusal or delay
• Eligibility,  background, and security check status
• Details of submitted documents and interview notes

➡️ CAIPS was mainly used before 2010; today most applicants request GCMS notes, but the term CAIPS is still commonly used to refer to both.

📌 Why Request CAIPS/GCMS Notes?

• Understand why your application was refused
• Plan a stronger reapplication or reconsideration
• Prepare a judicial review or appeal
• Check the status of a pending application
• Discover if there's any ineligibility or misinterpretation

🧾 Who Can Request CAIPS Notes?

Only:

1. You, if you're in Canada and a Canadian citizen/PR, OR
2. A representative      inside Canada (lawyer or consultant), with your consent form (IMM 5475).

📝 How to Apply for CAIPS/GCMS Notes

1. Fill Consent Form IMM 5475
2. Apply via:
   • ATIP  (Access to Information and Privacy) request at IRCC’s ATIP portal
   • Or       hire a licensed representative to file it for you

1. Pay $5 CAD fee (online)

⏳ Processing time: Usually 30–40 days

🔁Removal Order Extension – Canada

A Removal Order Extension is a request to delay or defer your removal (deportation) from Canada, usually issued by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) when you’ve received a:

• Departure Order: Must leave Canada within 30 days, confirm departure.
• Exclusion Order: Barred from Canada for 1 year (or 5 years for   misrepresentation), or
• Deportation Order: Permanent removal due to serious reasons.

You can apply to CBSA to postpone your removal if you have valid humanitarian, legal, or medical reasons.

📝 When Can You Request an Extension?

You must show valid, time-sensitive reasons, such as:

• Medical conditions (your own or a dependent's)
• Pending immigration application (H&C, PRRA, spousal sponsorship, etc.)
• Upcoming surgery or childbirth
• Children’s education or exam period
• Family hardship
• Lack of travel documents (e.g., passport not issued yet)

Step 1: Prepare a Written Request

Your letter must include:

• Your full name, UCI, and copy of removal order
• Reason for extension, with proof
• How long of a delay you are requesting
• Supporting documents (e.g., medical letters, school proof, legal applications)

Step 2: Submit to CBSA

• Contact  your local CBSA Enforcement office
• Submit in person or by email, depending on local procedures
• You  may be called in for an interview

⚠️ Important Notes

• CBSA is not required to approve the extension. It's discretionary.
