Secure Your Study Permit for Education in Canada

Securing a study permit is your gateway to accessing educational opportunities across all levels in Canada. Whether you are interested in primary, secondary, vocational training, or higher education, a study permit enables international students to pursue their academic goals at Canadian institutions renowned for quality education.

Eligibility and Application Process

Applicants must be accepted by a designated learning institution in Canada to be eligible for a study permit. They must prove they can financially support themselves—covering tuition, living expenses, and return transportation. A clean criminal record and a medical exam might also be required to ensure they pose no risk to public health and safety.

Exceptions to the Study Permit Requirement

Not all students need a study permit. Here are some of the exceptions:

• Short-duration studies: If your course or program lasts six months or less, you do not need a study permit.
• Minor children in Canada: Minor children already in Canada, whose parents are either Canadian citizens or hold work or study permits, do not require a study permit to attend pre-school, primary, or secondary school.
• Family or staff of foreign representatives: Family members or staff of foreign representatives accredited by Global Affairs Canada may study without a permit.
• Members of foreign armed forces: Members of foreign armed forces on official duties in Canada do not require a study permit under the Visiting Forces Act.

However, if you intend to study in a longer program or continue your education in Canada beyond a short course, it's crucial to apply for a study permit before your studies commence.
