Studying in Canada is one of the greatest opportunities provided to international students who wish to obtain a good education and work experience. As a result, over a hundred and thirty thousand students apply every year for Canada Study Permits to have a share in that great opportunity. Also in addition to the one hundred and thirty thousand students, some others apply for visas to get an opportunity to learn English and French in Canada.

One of the advantages of a Canadian study permit is that it allows students to broaden their horizons, and they also benefit greatly while they are in the country. For cases such as short term study, for phases of less than six months, study permits are not needed. But possessing one will allow you to extend your time in Canada if you wish to advance in your studies. Otherwise, without the permit, you would have to go back home and apply for a new one.

These study visas are not considered work visas, but they do allow students to work part time on the campus of the school institutions they are enrolled in. In some areas in Canada, one may be allowed to work off university grounds, but you will require a work permit.

Students should submit their applications immediately upon receiving their acceptance letters from their chosen institutions. In order to be eligible for a study permit, one has to have an acceptance letter from the school that one will attend, adequate funds for payment of tuition fees and general upkeep, must demonstrate one’s intentions of moving back home as soon as the studies are over. You must pass a health check and may be required to have a temporary resident visa.
