Study Visa

If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, then you might need a study permit to study in Canada. If you plan to study in a short-term program for 6 months or less, you do not need a study permit. 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
  • 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
