moreStudent Visas
Student Visas (called Study Permits) are required by students who plan to study in Canada longer than six months. Students planning to study programs lasting fewer than six months do not require a Study Permit.
Study Permits are not required for children enrolled in pre-school or kindergarten programs or for general interest courses.
Applications for Study Permits must be made at a Canadian embassy or consulate before entering Canada. Residents of the United States, St. Pierre and Miquelon, and Greenland can obtain Study Permits from immigration officials as they enter Canada.
