A guide To Canadian State Visa

A Comprehensive Guide to Canadian Student Visa

Are you considering a country that offers top-notch education and allows you to travel affordably? Look no further! ALPS Immigration is here to help you make the most critical decision of your academic journey—choosing Canada as your destination for higher studies.

Read on to learn the step-by-step process to obtain a Canadian student permit and understand how long it typically takes.

Canadian Student Permit Requirements

Step 1: Secure an Offer Letter from a Designated Learning Institution () A Designated Learning Institution (DLI) is a Canadian government-approved university or college that welcomes international students. If your chosen institution is not on the DLI list, you will not be eligible for a study permit. To avoid delays, apply to your preferred institution at least six months before beginning your study permit application.

Required Documents for a Canadian Study Permit

To apply, ensure you have:

Acceptance Letter: A formal offer or acceptance letter from a DLI.

Valid Passport: Ensure your passport is up-to-date.

Two Passport-Sized Photos: Your name and date of birth must be written on the back of the photos.

Activated International Debit/Credit Card: For payment of application fees.

Proof of Financial Support: To show that you can afford tuition fees and living expenses without burdening Canada.

Letter of Explanation: Clearly state why you want to study in Canada and outline your responsibilities as an international student.

Biometrics: Required for applicants from India and some other countries

Restrictions with a Canadian Study Permit

While holding a study permit, you must follow specific rules:

No Dropping Out: You cannot leave your program and continue residing in Canada.

Limited Post-Program Stay: You may remain in Canada for up to 90 days after completing your program unless you apply for an extension.

Work Limitations: Working before your study begins is not allowed. You can work on-campus or off-campus only after starting your program.
