The study permit is a document that is issued to allow foreign nationals to study at Designated Learning Institutions (DLI) in Canada. In order to receive a study permit in Canada, the first step is to get accepted by a Canadian school, college or university. Once you get an acceptance letter from the institute, you can apply for a Study Permit in Canada. You should be able to give proof of identity and proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself in Canada and afford your tuition fees as an International Student. In addition you need to meet the following conditions:
- obey the law, have no criminal record
- are in good health
- prove to an officer that you will leave Canada when your study permit expires
If you live in China, India, Morocco, Pakistan, the Philippines, Senegal or Vietnam, then you might be able to get your study permit faster by applying online through the Student Direct Stream. Contact us to know more.
A study permit is usually valid for the length of your study program, plus an extra 90 days. The 90 days let you prepare to leave Canada or apply to extend your stay. Contact us, if you want to extend your study permit or extend your stay.
