STUDY PERMIT

Important Considerations:

  • Designated Learning Institution (DLI):
    • Ensure that the institution you plan to attend is a DLI.
  • Financial Requirements:
    • Canada has specific financial requirements that you must meet. These requirements can change, so it's crucial to check the latest information on the IRCC website.
  • Application Process:
    • Study permit applications are primarily submitted online through the IRCC secure account.
    • The IRCC portal will be closed to study permit applicants as of March 25, 2025.
  • Study Permit Cap:
    • Canada has placed a cap on the amount of study permit applications that will be processed. Therefore it is more important than ever to have a very complete and accurate application.
