Study Permit / Extensions
Mostly foreign nationals who dream to study in Canada should have a valid study permit. If an international student would take longer than expected to finish their study program, or if they transfer to a longer program of study, there’s a strong possibility that they would have to apply to extend their study permit.
Study Permit Eligibility
- You have to get an acceptance letter from a designated learning institution in Canada.
- You have to show enough finances for the first year’s tuition fee, living expenses, and transportation.
- IRCC might need police clearance certificates and medical tests to prove you’re acceptable in Canada.
- You should satisfy Canadian authorities that you would leave Canada after finishing your studies or till after your PGWP expires.
Study Visa Benefits
Temporary Resident Visa
- Any foreign national needs a visa to enter Canada.
- Foreign nationals should be aware that there’s a high possibility that their TRV will expire on a similar date as their study permit.
- Maintaining a valid TRV isn’t compulsory for a foreign national studying in Canada as it is the study permit that grants authority to participate in study activities.
- The TRV allows entry and re-entry to Canada. If you plan to travel out of Canada during your studies, you have to renew your TRV.
