What is a Study Permit?
A study permit is a document issued by the Canadian government that allows foreign nationals to study at Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) in Canada. It is not a visa but an essential authorization that, in most cases, must be obtained before you arrive in the country.
Why Choose Canada for Your Education?
- World-class education system
- Work while studying (up to 20 hours/week during semesters)
- Pathway to Permanent Residency (PR)
