Choose Where to Study
Canada offers a wide array of institutions open to international students.
To apply for a study permit, you must obtain an acceptance letter from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). These institutions are approved by provincial or territorial governments to host international students, making them a prerequisite for your application.
Admission Requirements
Once you've chosen a program, before applying for a study permit, it's necessary to obtain an acceptance letter from the Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI).
Each educational institution in Canada sets its own admission requirements. Typically, you need to provide proof of your previous education, demonstrate language proficiency in English or French (usually through tests like IELTS or TOEFL), and meet specific program requirements.
Study Visa Eligibility Requirements
To study in Canada, you will need to:
- Be accepted by a recognized Designated Learning Institution in Canada as an international student.
- Convince Canadian authorities of your intention to leave the country upon completing your studies.
- Demonstrate your financial ability to cover tuition fees and living expenses for yourself and any accompanying family members during your stay in Canada.
- Maintain a clean criminal record.
- Submit any additional documents requested by Canadian authorities to verify your eligibility.
- Undergo a medical examination if it is a requirement for your application.
Working as a Student
Full-time Students can work off-campus for a maximum of 20 hours per week, as specified in their study permit.
During scheduled breaks such as summer, winter holidays, or spring break, students have the flexibility to work full-time, including overtime, without the need for a work permit.
Working After Graduation
Post-graduation work permits (PGWPs) are open work permits granted to international students upon completing a Canadian educational program. Holders can work for any employer and choose their hours, gaining valuable Canadian work experience. With a validity ranging from eight months to three years, PGWPs create opportunities for applicants to pursue Canadian permanent residence, leveraging their acquired work experience in the country.
