Canada Study Permit Consultants
Helping students achieve their dream of studying in Canada
What is a Study Permit?
A study permit is an official document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows foreign nationals to study at designated learning institutions (DLIs) in Canada. It is mandatory for most international students who wish to pursue post-secondary or longer-term studies in Canada.
A study permit is not a visa. It authorizes you to study in Canada for a specified period. Most study permits are valid for the duration of your program plus 90 days. Having a valid study permit also opens doors to on-campus and off-campus work authorization.
Our licensed consultants guide you through every step — from choosing the right program to submitting a strong application — ensuring you have the best chance of approval.
Basic Eligibility Requirements
- Must be enrolled or accepted at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI)
- Demonstrate sufficient funds to cover tuition, living expenses, and return travel
- No criminal record and in good health

Requirements vary by individual circumstances. Book a free consultation to assess your specific eligibility.
