Immigration

Studying in Canada

I received a PAL from SFU but my address on the PAL is outdated. Can I use this PAL for my study permit application?

The address in the PAL may differ from the residential and or mailing address to be included in your study permit application. It can also be different from the address noted in your SFU’s offer of admission letter. 

Having a different address on your PAL will not cause issues with your study permit processing. Thus, a new PAL is not needed if you have changed addresses.
