To study in Canada, most international students require a study permit, which serves as a student visa for the duration of their program. Eligibility depends on acceptance from a designated learning institution (DLI), proof of financial support, and a clean criminal record. Some programs under six months may not require a permit, but it’s advisable to check specific requirements.
Applicants must apply online or through a visa office, providing biometrics and sometimes undergoing a medical exam. Processing times vary, so apply well in advance. Post-graduation work permits may also be available, depending on the program length and institution.
