To obtain a study permit to attend school in Canada as a foreign student, you will need to choose a school, meet the requirements for a study permit, complete an application form, pay the fees, and wait for a decision on your application. Once your application is approved, you will receive a letter of introduction and a study permit, which you will need to present when you arrive in Canada. You will also need to make arrangements for your transportation to Canada and follow the conditions of your study permit, which may include maintaining full-time enrollment in a program of study and not working more hours than allowed. It is important to note that you will need to renew your study permit before it expires in order to continue studying in Canada.

Steps for applying for a student permit to attend a school in Canada

1. Obtain a letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada. To apply for a student permit, an individual must first be accepted to a DLI in Canada. DLIs are schools that have been approved by the government of Canada to host international students. The letter of acceptance will typically include information about the academic program, duration of study, and any fees or costs associated with the program.
2. Complete the student permit application form. The student permit application form can be obtained from the Government of Canada’s immigration website or from a Canadian embassy, consulate, or visa office in the individual’s home country. The form must be completed in full and signed by the applicant.
3. Gather supporting documents. Along with the completed student permit application form, the individual will need to provide several supporting documents, including:

• A valid passport with at least 6 months’ validity remaining
• A letter of acceptance from a DLI in Canada
• Proof of financial support, such as bank statements or a letter from a sponsor
• Any other documents required by the DLI or the government of Canada, such as transcripts, test scores, or medical exam results

4. Submit the completed application and supporting documents to the Canadian embassy, consulate, or visa office in the individual’s home country. The individual will need to pay the required visa application fee at this time.

It is important to note that the process for applying for a student permit can vary depending on the individual’s country of origin and the specific requirements of the DLI they have been accepted to. It is a good idea to start the application process as early as possible to allow ample time for the visa to be processed.
