Study Permit (Student Visa)
Many foreign students come to Canada to study English and French. They also attend Canadian colleges/universities to obtain degrees and diplomas.
You need to apply for a study permit if:
-
the program of study is six months or longer. (You may need a visitor visa depending on the country you are from)
-
you intend to apply for another program after your initial six month period.
-
you work on campus, take an internship/co-op class, or take a paid practical training course that is part of the educational program.
If you need to apply for a study permit, you need to be accepted by an educational institute first.
Students are required to demonstrate financial sufficiency for the first year of studies.
