Study Permit and Student Visa
Canadian Study Permit and Student Visa Guidance
International students generally require a Canadian study permit to pursue eligible programmes in Canada. Before applying, students must meet the applicable immigration requirements and obtain the necessary documents.
Depending on your circumstances, the application process may involve:
- A letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution (DLI)
- A provincial or territorial attestation letter (PAL/TAL), where required
- Proof of sufficient financial resources
- Valid passport and supporting identity documents
- Evidence that you meet the applicable study permit requirements
- Medical examination or police certificates, where required
- Other documents specified by Canadian immigration authorities
Requirements and exemptions may vary according to the applicant, programme, institution, and location of study. Students should verify the latest requirements before submitting an application.
Important: Admission to a Canadian institution does not guarantee study permit approval. A study permit also does not automatically provide permanent residency or unrestricted work rights.
Student Work Opportunities
Student Work Opportunities in Canada
Eligible international students may be permitted to work during their studies, subject to the conditions of their study permit and current Canadian immigration regulations.
Students who meet the relevant requirements may be able to work off campus for up to 24 hours per week during regular academic sessions, with unlimited hours during scheduled academic breaks. Eligibility conditions and permitted work arrangements must be checked before starting employment.
Work opportunities can help eligible students gain experience and manage some of their expenses. However, students should plan their finances without relying entirely on future employment income.
Certain programmes may also include co-op placements, internships, or other work-integrated learning opportunities. These may require additional authorisation, depending on the programme and applicable rules.
Work Opportunities
Post-Graduation Work Opportunities
Canada offers post-graduation work permit options to eligible graduates who meet the applicable requirements. These pathways may allow graduates to gain Canadian work experience after completing their studies.
However, not every institution or programme qualifies for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). Eligibility may depend on the institution, programme type, duration of study, language proficiency, field of study, and other immigration requirements.
Before selecting a programme, it is important to check whether it meets the relevant PGWP criteria and whether you are likely to satisfy the requirements at the time of application.
A PGWP does not guarantee permanent residency. Any future immigration pathway depends on the applicable eligibility criteria and rules in force at that time.
