Applying for a Study Permit

Not everyone needs a study permit to study in Canada. If you plan to study for less than six months, you do not need the student visa. If you plan to study for a longer period of time, you will need to gather a number of documents for your application for a study visa, including:

• Proof of sufficient funds
• Proof of acceptance to a Canadian school
• If you are applying to study in Quebec, you will also need a Certificat d'acceptation du Québec (Quebec Certificate of Acceptance, or CAQ)
• Proof of your identity
• Results of a medical examination (certain countries only)
• Police records (you will only have to provide this if asked)
• Completed application for a study permit for Canada.
