With one of the top educational systems in the world Canada welcomes tens of thousands of foreign students to post-secondary institutions across the country every year.

To study in Canada for more than 6 months you must obtain a Study Permit in your country of origin or of legal residence. No Study Permit is required for study less than 6 months.

To obtain a Study Permit you must:

show proof that you have been admitted to a recognized post-secondary institution in Canada;
show proof of payment of tuition fees;
show proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself for one year;
have a passport valid for at least one year at the time of application .

In some cases you may be asked to undergo medical exams and provide proof you have no criminal record.
