THE OVERVIEW
A Canadian study permit plan begins with your chosen program.
Many international students need a study permit to study in Canada. Before applying, applicants generally need to understand the requirements for their intended designated learning institution, admission documents, funding, study objectives and personal circumstances. Requirements and exceptions may change, so use the latest official study permit checklist rather than relying on an old document list.
