Canada Study Permit

Study at a designated learning institution, with work options.

Overview

About this visa

A study permit lets you study at a designated learning institution in Canada, and is the main document international students need.

It can include limited work rights during study and can lead to a post-graduation work permit, which in turn supports pathways to permanent residence.

A strong application shows a genuine study plan, sufficient funds and an intention to comply with the permit's conditions.

This may suit you if

  • You have an acceptance from a designated institution
  • You can show sufficient funds
  • You meet admissibility requirements
  • You may want to work after study

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What is a good CRS score for Express Entry?
The Comprehensive Ranking System cut-off changes with each draw and by program, so there is no fixed 'good' score. We calculate your CRS, identify ways to improve it - such as language, education or a provincial nomination - and advise on how competitive you are.
Can a provincial nomination help me?
Yes, significantly. A provincial nomination can add a large number of points to an Express Entry profile and can be the deciding factor. We match your profile to the province where you are most likely to be nominated.
How long will my application take?
Processing times vary by visa type and change regularly, and they depend on your documents and personal circumstances. We give you a realistic, up-to-date estimate for your situation and keep you informed while the case is assessed.
Can I include my family?
Many visas let you include a partner and dependent children, either together with your application or by adding them later. We confirm exactly who you can include and prepare their documents alongside yours.
Do I have to visit your office in Jalandhar?
No. We work with clients across India and around the world. Your case can be handled entirely by phone, email and video call if that is easier for you.
