Success: Study Permit & Restoration (Minor)

/in , , , /by

At Clarke Immigration Law, we are proud to help families from around the world secure access to education for their children in Canada. In this recent case, we assisted a young international student whose study permit had expired after a previous application was refused due to missing documentation.

The student, a minor residing in Manitoba with close family members, faced a looming school deadline and uncertain immigration status. With time running out, her family turned to our office for urgent assistance. We quickly stepped in to prepare a comprehensive restoration and study permit application, requesting expedited processing.

Thanks to the efforts of our legal team and the strength of the submission, IRCC approved the application within weeks – just in time for the student to return to school for the September 2025 term.

Timeline of Key Events

  • 26 February 2025 – Previous Study Permit Extension refused (missing Custodianship Declaration)
  • 1 May 2025 – Study Permit expired; 90-day restoration period triggered
  • 2 June 2025 – Retained Clarke Immigration Law and submitted urgent request with restoration + new Study Permit application
  • 16 July 2025 – Application submitted through APR
  • 19 August 2025 – Study Permit approved.

How We Helped

  • Identified the critical issue in the prior refusal: missing custodianship documentation
  • Drafted a comprehensive explanation supported by the student’s family.
  • Ensured compliance with IRCC regulations for minor students.
  • Ensured the application clearly demonstrated that the minor’s care, living arrangements, and financial support met IRCC’s expectations, with special attention to the best interests and welfare of the child.
  • Considered the student’s upcoming academic term and the support from the educational institution as relevant context in the urgent request.
  • Delivered the complete application package within the tight restoration window.

This case reflects our ongoing commitment to providing timely, compassionate, and knowledgeable support – particularly in sensitive matters involving minor children. At Clarke Immigration Law, we are dedicated to helping ensure that all students in Canada, including minors, are able to continue their education with the appropriate legal status and peace of mind.
