Applying for a study permit

Study permits are issued by the Government of Canada, which charges fees for processing your application.

  • If you are already in Canada and this is your first application for a CAQ for studies, please find out from Citizenship and Immigration Canada where your application for a study permit must be filed.
  • If you are an American citizen or a permanent resident of the United States, if you are a Danish citizen who resides in Greenland or a French citizen who resides in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, you can obtain your study permit from the Government of Canada on your arrival at your point of entry.
  • In all other cases, you must apply to the Canadian Visa Office covering the country where you currently reside. If required, you will also have to obtain a temporary resident visa.


Please consult the Canadian Visa Office site that covers your country to find out if you can submit your study permit application at the same time as your application for a CAQ for studies and to obtain the permit application forms.

The office handling your application may request any document necessary to examine your file, such as documents to evaluate your financial self-sufficiency.

 

  USEFUL INFORMATION  
Residents of certain countries must undergo a medical examination to obtain a study permit. If this is your situation, the Government of Canada will inform you and send you a list of doctors you can consult for this purpose. You can not anticipate the medical examination. Please wait for the Government of Canada to send you the appropriate form.
