Students come from diverse backgrounds, from every nook and corner of the world. The quality of life that Canada offers is unmatchable, and is termed as the safest country for international students.

The students can use these ways to come to Canada for studies:

• Study Permit

This document is issued to aspiring students by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), which allows the international students to pursue their studies in Canada for a certain time. In order to get one’s study permit issued, a student must:

• Select a Designated Learning Institute (DLI) and get a Letter of Acceptance issued
• Submit proof of the required financial support, including tuition fees, living, and travel expenses
• Provide documents including Police Clearance Certificate, Medical Examination Certificate, passport, passport size photos, marriage certificate (if applicable), and any other document as required

Furthermore, the study applicant must convince the Immigration Officer that he/she shall return after completing the studies. After receiving the Letter of Acceptance from the Institution and meeting the eligibility criteria, the candidate can apply for the study permit from the visa processing office.

Upon the approval of application, a Letter of Introduction shall be issued to the student, which has to be produced before the Immigration official upon arriving in Canada. The Immigration official will then issue the study permit to the student.

The study permit, regardless of the printed expiry date, shall expire after 90 days of graduation. The student shall have the option of applying for Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). This work permit enables the student to work for up to three years in Canada after graduation, and can also apply for Canadian Permanent Residency.

In case the student doesn’t apply for Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), he/she can opt to change status to visitor, apply for another study permit for further education, or choose to leave Canada.
