Studying in Canada offers international students a high-quality education, Canadian work experience after graduation, and the ability to obtain permanent residence under certain programs like the Canadian Experience Class program. All international students need a study permit to study in Canada, however, if you plan to study in a short-term program for 6 months or less, you do not need a study permit. You may do this while holding a visitor visa. But, you can apply for a study permit if you want to.
You can apply for a study permit if you think you might want to study in another program after you complete the first program. You can apply to extend your permit if you already have a study permit from inside Canada, as long as you are still enrolled in school, however you have to apply for a study permit outside of Canada, if you do not have a study permit, with some exceptions.
What do I need to apply?
To apply for a study permit, you need:
- An acceptance letter from a designated learning institution;
- Proof of identity (such as a passport or travel document) for you and any family members who come with you to Canada;
- To be a law-abiding citizen without a criminal record;
- Proof that you have enough money to pay school fees and support yourself and any family members who come with you while you study; and,
- To assure an immigration officer that you and any family members who come with you will leave Canada after you finish your studies.
Depending on your citizenship, you might also need:
- To pass a medical exam; and/or
- To get a temporary resident visa (or “entry visa”)
