HOW TO GET A STUDY PERMIT?

To get a Canadian study permit, you must first apply to a designated learning institute. Once accepted, you may proceed to apply for a study permit. Along with the application itself, you will be required to submit certain documentation, as well as meet all requirements set by the Canadian government.

STUDY PERMIT TO PERMANENT RESIDENCY

Many international students in Canada finish their studies with the hopes of obtaining work and remaining in Canada permanently. In certain Express Entry categories, students may be eligible for permanent residence without any work experience. Often though, students will apply for work and then a work visa to stay temporarily. After having gained academic and work experience in Canada, they may have more options to apply for Canadian permanent residency.

POST GRADUATE WORK PERMIT (PGWP)

The Post-Graduate Work Permit Program gives international student graduates their opportunity to work in Canada up to 3 years after they finish their studies.

How Long Can I Stay in Canada?

If you’re taking prerequisite courses

your school asks you to take courses before they accept you into the main program, your study permit will be valid for the length of those courses, plus 1 year. When you get accepted into the main program, you must then apply to extend your stay as a student.

If you’ll finish your studies after your study permit expires

you don’t finish your courses before the date on your permit, you must apply to extend your stay as a student. If you don’t, you’ll need to stop studying and leave Canada.

If you finish your studies before your study permit expires

if you finish your studies early, your permit will stop being valid 90 days after you complete your studies, no matter what day is printed on the study permit. You’ve completed your studies on the date your school first notifies you by a completion letter, transcript, degree, or diploma.
