Student Visa (Study Permit)

A Study Permit is a document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows international students to study at Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) in Canada. It is important to note that a Study Permit is not a visa. Depending on your country of residence, you may also need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to enter Canada.

Why Study in Canada?

Canada is home to some of the world’s top-ranked universities and colleges, offering a wide range of programs in fields like engineering, business, healthcare, and technology. Here’s why Canada is a top choice for international students:

  • High-Quality Education: Canadian institutions are known for their academic excellence and cutting-edge research facilities.
  • Affordable Tuition Fees: Compared to other popular study destinations like the US and UK, Canada offers more affordable tuition fees.
  • Work While You Study: International students can work up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and full-time during scheduled breaks.
  • Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP): After completing your studies, you may be eligible for a PGWP, allowing you to gain valuable Canadian work experience.
  • Pathway to Permanent Residency: Many international students transition to permanent residency through programs like Express Entry or Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).

Eligibility Requirements for a Study Permit

To apply for a Study Permit, you must meet the following requirements:
