Canada is one of the most popular destinations for international students, offering world-class education, cultural diversity, and a pathway to permanent residency. To study in Canada for more than six months, most international students must obtain a Study Permit, which is the official authorization issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
The study permit allows you to study at Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) in Canada and may include work privileges under certain conditions.
You must have a valid Letter of Acceptance from a Canadian DLI. Ensure the school is on the IRCC’s list of approved institutions.
You must prove that you have enough funds to cover:
– Tuition fees for the first year
– Living expenses for yourself and accompanying family members
– Return transportation for yourself and accompanying family members
As of 2024, IRCC requires a minimum amount of CAD $20,635 per year for living expenses (outside Quebec), in addition to tuition. This amount is updated annually.
You must submit:
– A valid passport or travel document
– Two recent passport-sized photos (for paper applications)
Though not mandatory, this document helps visa officers understand your study goals, choice of program, and long-term plans. It’s strongly recommended for demonstrating your intent.
Required if:
– You plan to stay for more than 6 months
– You have lived in designated countries for 6+ months in the past year
– You plan to work in certain occupations (e.g., healthcare, childcare)
In some cases (Based on the country requirements) , you may be asked to provide a police certificate to prove you have no criminal record.
