Every year, thousands of foreign nationals move to Canada to study at our universities, colleges, and high schools. Foreign nationals intending to study in Canada must get a Study Permit and, in many situations, an associated visa.
What You Should Know About Studying in Canada.
- To qualify for a Study Permit, you must receive an admission letter from a Canadian college or university (a Designated Learning Institution).
