Studying in Canada as an international student
Most international students need a study permit to study in Canada for longer than six months. We help you understand the requirements and plan your application from the start.
A study permit application generally starts with an acceptance from a designated learning institution and includes proof that you can support yourself financially during your studies. Requirements can differ depending on your program, your country and the province where you plan to study.
We help you understand what is needed, avoid common gaps in applications, and think about how your studies may connect to your longer-term plans in Canada.
Who this may be relevant for
- Prospective international students planning to study at a Canadian institution
- Students who need to extend their study permit or change programs or schools
- Parents or family members helping a student prepare an application
- Graduates thinking ahead about work options after their studies
Important considerations
- You must study at a designated learning institution, and your study permit has conditions you need to follow.
- Depending on current rules, a provincial or territorial attestation letter may be required.
- You need to show that you have sufficient funds to support yourself during your studies.
- Graduates may be eligible for a post-graduation work permit depending on their program and institution, so program choice matters.
The process
How it typically works
Every situation is different, but most applications move through these general stages.
Choose your program and school
Confirm that your institution is a designated learning institution and that your program fits your goals.
Secure your acceptance
Obtain your letter of acceptance and any additional documents the school or province requires.
Prepare your application
Gather proof of funds, identification and supporting documents, and explain your study plans clearly.
Apply and follow up
Submit your application, complete biometrics if required, and respond to requests for information.
Please note: Eligibility depends on each applicant’s circumstances and current immigration requirements. Invoke Immigration cannot guarantee any immigration outcome; decisions are made by the Government of Canada.
