What is a Study Permit?
A study permit is an official document issued by the Canadian government that allows foreign nationals to study at designated learning institutions (DLIs) in Canada. Most international students need a study permit to study in Canada. It’s important to have all required documents and apply for your permit before traveling to Canada.
Key Requirements for a Study Permit
To be eligible for a study permit, you must:
1. Enroll at a DLI: You must be accepted by a recognized institution in Canada.
2. Financial Proof: Demonstrate that you have enough money to cover tuition fees, living expenses for yourself and any family members accompanying you, and return transportation.
3. Law Abidance: Have no criminal record and, if required, provide a police certificate.
4. Good Health: Be in good health and, if necessary, complete a medical exam.
5. Intent to Leave: Convince an immigration officer that you will leave Canada when your study permit expires.
Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL)
As of January 22, 2024, most students must include a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) from the province or territory where they plan to study with their study permit application. Applying without a PAL in most cases will result in your application being returned with fees.
How to Apply for a Study Permit
1. Gather Documents: Ensure you have all required documents, including a letter of acceptance from a DLI, proof of financial support, a police certificate (if required), and a medical exam (if required).
2. Apply Online: Submit your application through the official IRCC website. If you’re eligible for the Student Direct Stream, you may get your permit faster.
3. Pay Fees: Include the necessary application fees.
4. Submit Biometrics: Provide biometrics if required.
5. Wait for Processing: Wait for your application to be processed. Be prepared to provide additional information if requested.
