A study permit is issued to prospective international students to allow study at certain educational institutions (called designated learning institutions or “DLI’s”). Most prospective students need a study permit to study in Canada, however there are some exceptions. These exceptions include some situations where the applicant is a minor, the educational course is 6 months or less in duration or is completed entirely via distance learning (e.g. online).
Depending on where an Applicant currently resides and if they meet other eligibility requirements, they may be able to receive a study permit faster than regular processing times through the Student Direct Stream (SDS).
After a student graduates, they may be eligible for a Post-graduate Work Permit (PGWP), which allows the student to obtain an open work permit to work in Canada for a period of time after graduation. Canadian work experience can further help in obtaining permanent residency in Canada.
