An applicant who had already received a Letter of Acceptance for a master's program, but was still in their last semester of undergraduate study, asked whether they could apply for a study permit without their final semester result.
What the group said:- One member shared an anecdote: a student from their college had applied in May with marksheets for 7 out of 8 semesters (i.e., without the final semester result) and transcripts, and it worked out for them.
- Another member pushed back on relying on that anecdote, cautioning strongly against assuming your case will play out the same way just because it worked for someone else — outcomes can differ based on your specific program, visa office, and documentation.
Practical takeaway:- It may be possible to submit an application with a partial transcript (missing the final semester), but this isn't guaranteed to succeed for everyone.
- Don't base your submission strategy purely on someone else's experience in a Facebook group — check with your university's international office and the current IRCC document checklist for your visa office.
- If possible, get a provisional or partial transcript with a note from your institution explaining that the final semester result is pending, to reduce ambiguity in your application.
