Study Permit

A study permit is a legal document that allows a person to study in Canada at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).

Because processing periods differ widely from nation to country, it’s advisable to plan ahead to ensure that your permission is ready before your study term begins. The majority of post-secondary educational programmes in Canada begin in September, January, or May, depending on the programme.

A foreign national cannot apply for a study permit unless they have received an acceptance letter, they should check the start date and application process for their desired schools and programmes well in advance to ensure they have enough time to obtain the acceptance letter and complete the study permit application.

Requirements: Check if your school is a Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI)
