If a student returns early from Canada while on a student visa, several things need to be considered:

1. University/College Notification

- Inform your institution: The student should inform their Canadian university or college of their decision to leave early and formally withdraw from their program.
- Refund Policy: Check the institution’s refund policy for tuition and other fees. Some portion may be refunded depending on when you withdraw.

2. Immigration Status

- Visa Implications: If you are no longer studying, your study permit may become invalid. You are required by Canadian law to comply with the conditions of your study permit, which includes actively pursuing your studies.
- Leaving Canada: If you leave Canada permanently or for an extended period and are not enrolled, your study permit status will be affected. You should leave before your permit expires.

3. Future Applications

- Impact on Future Visas: Returning early typically does not negatively impact future Canadian visa or study permit applications, as long as you complied with all visa conditions and informed the authorities properly. However, you may be asked about your previous early return in future applications.

4. Post-Study Work Permit (PGWP)

- Eligibility Impact: If you did not complete your program, you will not be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). The PGWP requires successful completion of a program of at least 8 months at an eligible institution.

5. Financial Matters

- Bank Accounts and Accommodation: Close your Canadian bank account and settle accommodation leases or contracts.
- Scholarships/Loans: Inform your scholarship provider or lender about your early return, as this might affect your funding or repayment schedule.

6. Health Insurance

- Cancel Coverage: Cancel any Canadian health insurance after your departure.
