Study Permit

To obtain a study permit, the individual must first be accepted by a DLI in Canada and provide proof of acceptance, such as a letter of acceptance from the institution. In addition, the individual must demonstrate that they have sufficient financial resources to support themselves while studying in Canada, and that they intend to leave Canada at the end of their authorized stay.

The application process for a study permit can be done online or on paper, and may require the individual to submit various documents, such as a valid passport, proof of financial support, and a letter of explanation. The processing time can vary depending on the country of origin and the individual circumstances of the application.

Once the study permit is issued, the individual may be eligible to work part-time on campus or off-campus, depending on certain conditions. In addition, they may be eligible to apply for a post-graduation work permit, which would allow them to work in Canada for a specified period of time after completing their studies.

It is important to note that the individual must maintain their status as a student while in Canada, which may require them to meet certain requirements, such as attending classes regularly and maintaining satisfactory academic standing.
