Canada study permit (student visa)
A Canadian study permit allows international students to study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). Most study permit holders can also work part-time during studies under current IRCC rules.
Eligibility basics
- Letter of Acceptance from a DLI
- Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) where required
- Proof of funds for tuition and living expenses
- Genuine student intent — clear study plan and ties to home country
- Language test results (typically IELTS Academic)
SDS (Student Direct Stream)
A faster processing route available to residents of specific countries who meet higher language and financial requirements, including a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC). Eligibility rules change; always verify against the current IRCC page.
Work and post-study options
Study permit holders may work up to the current IRCC-permitted hours per week off-campus. Eligible graduates can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), which is often a stepping stone toward permanent residence.
