Study Permit
Canada is one of the world’s leading destinations for international students, offering high-quality education and strong post-study opportunities. A Canadian study permit allows you to live and study in Canada for the duration of your program.
A study permit is an official document that allows foreign nationals to study at approved institutions in Canada. Most international students require a study permit before entering the country.
