The study permit is a document that Canadian High Commission issue that allows foreign nationals to study at designated learning institutions (DLIs) in Canada.
Most foreign nationals need a study permit to study in Canada. Make sure you have all the documents you need before you apply.
You should apply before you travel to Canada.
You can come to Canada to study if you are enrolled at a DLI; prove you have enough money to pay for your tuition fees, living expenses for yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada; obey the law, have no criminal record and get a police certificate (if required); are in good health and prove to an officer that you will leave Canada when your study permit expires.
If you are applying for a study permit, you must apply online, whether you’re outside of Canada or already in Canada. You are only eligible to apply on paper if you have a disability that prevents you from applying online or hold an identity or travel document for non-national residents, refugees or stateless persons.
Canadian High Commission then makes a decision whether to grant a visa to the candidate or deny the study permit/visa. Any candidate can reapply for the study permit and wish to fulfil their dreams multiple number of times in case of visa denial.
