To obtain a student visa, the applicant must meet the following requirements

• Successfully accepted at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada
• Current status in Canada
• Proof of financial support for your education and living in Canada for the period of study

If you are in Canada as a visitor and wish to apply for a study permit to attend a designated learning institution, you may be able to do so from within Canada. As of June 1, 2014, certain foreign nationals may apply for and receive a study permit from within Canada. These include:

• minor children studying at the primary or secondary level;
• exchange or visiting students; and
• students who have completed a short-term course or program of study that is a condition for acceptance at a designated institution.

Upon successfully graduating from the program of study, the student receives a Graduate Work Permit for a minimum of one to a maximum of three years.

Students can apply to become the permanent resident of Canada after their studies. Please visit the “Immigrate” section of the website for information on becoming a permanent Canadian resident.
