Study Permits (Student Visas) in Canada
Study Permits (Student Visas)
Study Permits ( student visas ) are not required for English language courses that last 6 months or less. People from some countries, however, need Temporary Resident Permits ( visitor visas ).
Applying for a Student Visa in Canada
In Canada, there are specific terms for visitor visas, students visas and work visas. It is easier to understand visa application instructions if you know the visa terms. They are as follows:
- In Canada, a visitor visa is called a Temporary Residents Visa.
- In Canada, a student visa is called a Study Permit.
- In Canada, a work visa is called a Work Permit.
If you need a Study Permit ( student visa ), you can apply at one of the CIC Canada visa offices, before coming to Canada. You cannot obtain
a Study Permit in Canada. You must obtain your student visa before you come to Canada.

First, you need a Letter of Acceptance from the school. We will send a Letter

Medical Examinations for Visas in Canada
People with programs of 20 weeks or longer must sometimes have
medical examinations.
It can take one to three months for the Canadian government to process a medical examination report before approving a Study
Permit. If you cannot wait that long it is best to apply for a 16-week program.
The Study Permit can be extended after you come to Canada
