Your Guide to Obtaining a Study Permit: How We Can Assist You

Understanding the Study Permit

A Study Permit is a document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows foreign nationals to study at designated learning institutions (DLIS) in Canada. It is not a visa, but it is often issued alongside a visitor visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

When is a Study Permit Required?

A Study Permit is required if:

• Your program of study lasts more than six months.
• You plan to study at a DLI in Canada.

The Application Process

1. Obtain a Letter of Acceptance: Secure an acceptance letter from a designated learning institution in Canada.
2. Determine Eligibility: Ensure you meet the eligibility criteria, including proof of sufficient funds, a clean criminal record, and a medical examination if required.
3. Gather Documentation: Collect all necessary documents, such as the acceptance letter, proof of funds, passport, and any additional documents specified by IRCC.
4. Submit Application: Complete and submit the study permit application online or through a Visa Application Centre (VAC).
5. Biometrics: Provide biometrics (fingerprints and photo) as part of the application process.
6. Processing and Decision: Wait for the application to be processed and receive the decision. If approved, you will receive a port of entry letter of introduction and, if applicable, a visitor visa or eTA.
