Studying in Canada
I have to defer my admission and I have received a PAL from SFU. Do I need to get a new PAL for my study permit application?
No, you don鈥檛 need a new PAL as long as your PAL was valid at the time of your study permit application submission.
After your admission deferral is processed and approved by SFU, you will receive an updated Offer of Admission Letter/Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from SFU. While your study permit application (whether new or extension) is in process, you must submit the new LOA through IRCC's that you have deferred your admission.
For more information about applying for admission deferral, please review our FAQ here.
