Guidance through new study permit applications, extensions, and the documentation IRCC expects to see.
A study permit is the document that authorizes a foreign national to study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada for a program longer than six months.
You may need a study permit whether you are applying for the first time from abroad, switching schools or programs, or already studying in Canada and need to extend your authorization.
For first-time applicants who have an acceptance letter from a DLI and need to demonstrate funds, purpose, and ties before travelling to Canada.
For students already in Canada who are continuing, changing, or advancing their program and must extend their status before their current permit expires.
A strong application includes proof of acceptance, academic transcripts, and financial documentation showing tuition and living costs are covered for the duration of the program.
IRCC reviews each application for a genuine intent to study. A well-prepared study plan explains your program choice, academic background, and how it connects to your goals.
Staying enrolled, meeting program requirements, and renewing your permit on time all matter for maintaining valid status. We also help you plan ahead — many students transition into a Post-Graduation Work Permit after finishing their studies.
From your first application to renewals and status maintenance, we review your file, prepare your documentation, and help you avoid the common issues that lead to refusals or delays.
