Understanding Visas and Immigration

The Canada Student Visa, also known as a study permit, is essential for international students who wish to study in Canada for more than six months. To apply, students must first obtain an acceptance letter from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). The application process can be initiated online or through a paper application, and it typically takes about 6 weeks for processing. Applicants must demonstrate sufficient financial resources to cover tuition fees and living expenses, with a minimum requirement of CAD 20,635 for living costs for one year.

This amount increases if family members accompany the student.Key requirements for the Canada Student Visa include proof of no criminal record, a medical examination to ensure good health, and evidence of English language proficiency through tests such as IELTS or TOEFL. Students may also need to provide a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) of CAD 10,000 if applying through the Student Direct Stream (SDS) program. The visa allows students to work part-time during their studies, up to 20 hours per week, and provides pathways for post-graduation work permits lasting between 1 to 3 years, depending on the length of the study program.
