Student Visa

Studying in Canada is an investment in your future. Not only will you have the opportunity to enroll in one of the best learning institutions in the world, but you may also be eligible to apply for permanent residency after gaining just one year of Canadian work experience.

There are currently over 600,000 international students in Canada. Canada has a world-class education system, some of the best universities globally, an invigorating student life and state-of-the-art facilities. However, you’ll need a Canadian student visa to study in Canada.

How to Apply

All applications for Canadian study permits are made online before arriving in Canada unless deemed eligible to apply on paper, such as if you have a disability.

Step 1: Create an online account and complete the application form.

Step 2: Gather supporting documentation - you may need documents like your passport and language test results, such as IELTS, transcripts, etc., to complete the application form.

Step 3: Complete and submit your Canadian study visa application - you’ll need to upload your supporting documentation along with your application.

Step 4: Receive a port of entry (POE) letter of introduction - this is not your study permit. You will need to submit this letter at the port of entry and will then receive your Canadian study permit.

Put your Canadian future in the hands of immigration professionals you can trust.
