并且察看了以前的帖子,发现申请entryvisa的表格叫做application for a temperary residence outside Canada,而我上加拿大官方网站看了下,发现续签studypermit里包含了temperary residence。那么续签完了study permit还要申请entryvisa吗?
很糊涂,但是由于都是12月底到期,所以急问
Entry Visa is for EVERYONE who wants to enter Canada on a temperary term - as distinguished with permanent residence or immigration visa.
Then would have different reasons for entering Canada - studying, working, or tourism. For these purpose, you either need a permit (for studying or working) or not (for just tourism). That's why for a student like you, there's a study permit.
Your Visa will have an expiry date, after which you are NOT allowed to ENTER Canada again. It does not affect you STATUS (in your case a student) INSIDE Canada, which is stipulated by you permit. So if you do not want to leave Canada and come back again, it is not necessary to re-apply for an entry-visa.
Your student permit will also have an expiry date, after which your STATUS in Canada would void. So if you want to stay in Canada as a student (that is if you want to register in a school) beyond that date, you have to extend your status by extending your permit.
A permit can be extended WITHIN Canada, but a Visa can only be issued by an OVERSEAS visa office. That's why someone suggested you to send passport to the US. If you plan to leave Canada and come back, you have to do this. Otherwise only extend the permit.
Good luck!
