To study in Canada, you have to follow some procedures. Here is some information that will help you in dealing with the immigration services. Make sure you meet all criteria.
Before going to study in Canada, you must apply for a study visa. This is a permit issued by an immigration officer that allows you, after being admitted to the country to stay to attend a professional or academic general training program. You will need it if you intend to enroll in a university, college or other approved educational institution.
Get a permit
If you come from a country or territory whose citizens require a temporary resident visa to enter Canada, you will receive it at the same time as the study permit. However, you will not need a permit if your program lasts less than six months. It is important to note that you must first be accepted as a student before applying for a permit.
