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.
