A Proof of Enrolment letter can be issued for the following:

  2. To extend your study permit – to learn more about extending your study permit visit the CIC website. Note: students are encouraged to add an extra 90 days to their applications for study permit extensions.
  3. To apply for a new visa to enter Canada. To find out if you are required to have a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to re-enter Canada, please visit the CIC website
  4. If you wish to visit another country and require a proof of enrolment for visa application.
  5. To invite a family member or friend to visit you while you are studying or on a scheduled break. Note: you should also prepare an invitation letter as well.
  6. To obtain a Social Insurance Number (SIN)

Please note: If your study permit does not indicate you are eligible to work in Canada, you will first need to amend it via MyCIC with a Proof of Enrolment letter before you can apply for a SIN. You will need a SIN card to work off-campus. Note: English Language (EAP) students are not eligible to work off-campus.

A Proof of Continuing Studies Letter can be used for the following:

  1. To prove that you will be a returning Student.

Please note: This letter can only be printed if you have a Returning Status on your file.

A Letter of Completion can be used for the following:

  1. To apply for the Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).
  2. To invite a family member or friend to Convocation Ceremony. Note: you should also prepare an invitation letter as well.

Please note: Your Letter of completion will be available for printing as soon as a graduated status has been entered on your student record. This is done by the Registrar’s Office. Visit the Graduated Status webpage for expected timelines for graduated status to be applied. The IEC recommends students check their ACSIS account once per day after the issuance of final grades in the final term, to avoid working without authorization. For more information visit the IEC’s Off-Campus Work and PGWP Handouts.
