What Is a Canadian Study Permit?

A Study Permit allows foreign nationals to study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada. It is not a visa, but it usually comes with a visitor visa or electronic travel authorization (eTA) that lets you enter Canada.

Who Needs a Study Permit?

Most international students require a study permit unless they:

• Enroll in a program of six months or less;

• Are family members of foreign diplomats;

• Are minor children already residing in Canada with legal status.

Eligibility Requirements for a Canadian Study Permit

To qualify for a study permit, applicants must:

• Have a valid Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from a DLI.

• Prove they have enough funds for tuition, living expenses, and return transportation.

• Be law-abiding with no criminal record (police clearance may be required).

• Be in good health (a medical exam may be required).

• Convince an officer that they will leave Canada at the end of their authorized stay.

How to Apply for a Canadian Study Permit

1. Apply From Outside Canada

You can apply through your local visa office or the IRCC online portal. Be prepared to:

• Submit biometrics;

• Provide translated documents, if needed;

• Complete a medical exam, depending on your country of residence.

2. Apply From Inside Canada

You may apply from within Canada if you:

• Hold a valid work or study permit;

• Are a minor child studying at the primary or secondary level;

• Have completed a short-term program and are transitioning to a longer program;

• Have made an inland permanent residence application and are eligible to stay in Canada.

3. Apply at the Port of Entry (POE)

Only eligible U.S. citizens, Green Card holders, St. Pierre and Miquelon residents, and certain visa-exempt nationals may apply at a POE. You must present:

• A valid LOA;

• Proof of funds;

• Any additional required documents (e.g., LMIA-exempt employment offer, if applicable).

Study Permit Holders: What You Can Do in Canada

With a valid study permit, you may also:

• Work part-time (up to 20 hours/week) during academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks;
