How to fill in this form (please read first)
What this form is for This form covers one thing only: extending your study permit / restoring your student status from inside Canada (IMM 5709). It collects only the information needed for this application. Fill it in, get the documents in the checklist at the bottom ready, and send everything back to your consultant.
Filling in & saving The form runs entirely in your own browser — nothing is uploaded to any server. Your answers are saved automatically on this device; if you close the page, reopen it in the same browser to continue. When you are done, tap Finish & Export at the bottom and send the exported file (or the copied text) to your consultant.
Timing matters most An extension must be submitted before your current permit expires to keep your legal (maintained) status. Double-check the expiry dates in the Documents section. If your permit has already expired, contact your consultant immediately — restoration is possible within 90 days of expiry.
Date format Use the date picker for date fields (YYYY-MM-DD). For an end date that is still ongoing, type Present.
10-year history without gaps The employment history must cover the last 10 years with no gaps between entries. Time spent studying or not working also counts — add an entry such as "Student at XX College" or "Unemployed" for those periods. Your consultant's review software detects gaps and overlaps automatically.
Answer truthfully Answer the background questions truthfully with Yes or No. Any misrepresentation, once found, can lead to refusal and a 5-year ban from Canada under IRPA s.40. If you answer Yes to any question, give full and honest details in the details box — your consultant will decide whether an explanation letter is needed.
Required fields Fields marked with a red * are required. Some fields become required only after certain selections — the form marks them automatically.
Document checklist The checklist at the end lists the supporting documents for this application. Confirm "Ready" or "Not yet" for each item. The files themselves (passport scan, proof of funds, etc.) are NOT uploaded through this form — send them to your consultant together with your exported answers.
