What to understand
Most foreign nationals need a study permit to study at a designated learning institution. Admission alone does not grant a permit; financial, identity and other requirements also apply.
What to prepare
Check current school eligibility, letter of acceptance, any required provincial or territorial attestation and proof of funds. Follow the country-specific checklist.
Important to know
Rules for attestation, dependants and work during study can change. Confirm the conditions printed on your permit.
Check the official requirements
Program rules, eligibility, fees and processing times may change. This guide is general information, not legal advice or a guarantee of any outcome. Check the current government instructions before applying.
