How to Apply for Study Permit in Canada

Have you finally decided to take the Student Pathway to Canada? It’s not an easy feat but truly a rewarding one. Finishing your studies in Canada can open up a lot of opportunities for career oriented individuals. If you’re just starting to do your research on becoming an international student, here’s a short guide on how to apply for a study permit in Canada:

Choose your Province, School, and Program

The first step in your application is to choose your province, school, and program of studies. Canadian provinces have different processes when it comes to applying as an international student. Be sure to check the website of your chosen province so you won’t miss any information. Schools have different requirements too. But the most important thing you should do when selecting your school is to check if the school is a Designated Learning Institution or DLI. Being a DLI means you are allowed to accept international students. Don’t forget to also compare cost of living, tuition fees, and other school fees when choosing your school.

Business, Technology, Healthcare, Hospitality, and more – there is a wide range of programs to choose from when you wish to study in Canada. One thing you should take into consideration is the length of the program. There are 1 year certificate programs, 2 year diploma, and programs that range from 3 to 5 years.

Complete the Requirements

Once you have chosen your school and program, it’s time to complete the requirements. The study permit has 3 general requirements: proof of acceptance, proof of identity, and proof of financial capability.

For the proof of acceptance from your chosen learning institution, you would need to prepare your Transcript of Record, and other supporting documents. Most schools would require an English Language test result as well. Submit these together with your application form and settle the required application fee. Your Letter of Acceptance or LOA from the school will form part of your requirements for your study permit.

For the proof of identity, you need a valid passport.

For the proof of financial capability, you would need to prepare bank statements, letter of support from your sponsor, a Guaranteed Investment Certificate or GIC from a participating Canadian Bank, and other supporting documents to prove that you have the financial capacity to fund your studies and stay in Canada.

Submit your Application

After gathering all your documents, it is now time to submit your application. You can do this online through the official website of Canada. Prepare a Letter of Explanation (LOE) or what others call Statement of Purpose (SOP). This helps the Visa Officer, who will evaluate your application, to clearly understand your reason for studying in Canada and gives you higher chances of getting approved.

You may also be required to submit a medical exam and biometrics to complete your application.
