  Studying in Canada  
 

More than 130,000 students come to study in Canada every year. In addition to this number are many more that come to Canada to learn English or French. Foreign students bring a rich culture to our classrooms. Your knowledge and skills are welcome in our schools.

The provinces regulate education and schools in Canada. For more detailed information on living and studying in a specific province or territory, contact the school where you wish to study.

 
   
  Who Needs a Study Permit?  
   
 

Most foreign students will need a Study Permit to study in Canada. There are some exceptions:

  • If you wish to study in a short-term course or program:
    You do not need a Study Permit if you are planning to take a course or program in Canada with a duration of six months or less. You must complete the course or program within the period authorized for your stay in Canada.
  • If you are a minor child already in Canada:
    You do not need a Study Permit if you are a minor child already in Canada, and your parents are not “visitors” in Canada.
Foreign representatives to Canada:
If you are a family or staff member of a foreign representative to Canada accredited by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, you do not need a Study Permit to study.
 
   
 

You Need to Apply for a Study Permit Before You come to Canada
You should apply for a Study Permit before you come to Canada if you think you may wish to continue your studies in another program after you complete the short-term course or program.
If you do not have a valid Study Permit and wish to continue your studies, you will have to leave Canada in order to apply for one!

Benefits of Having a Study Permit
There are benefits to having a Study Permit, even if you do not require one. If you have a valid Study Permit, you can:

  • work part-time on campus at the college or university at which you are registered as a full-time student; and
  • Apply to renew your Study Permit from within Canada, if you decide to continue studying in Canada.

When should I apply for my Study Permit?
You should apply as soon as you receive your letter of acceptance from the educational institution. The time needed to process an application to study in Canada may vary at different visa offices.
