To study in Canada, you must first be accepted into a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). Once accepted, the institution will issue a Letter of Acceptance, which is a key document required for your study permit application. In some provinces, you’ll also need a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL), which confirms your acceptance and intent to study in that specific region. This may be mandatory under certain programs or categories. Next, gather all required documents. These typically include your Letter of Acceptance, PAL, proof of funds (such as bank statements, scholarships, or sponsorship letters), a valid passport, passport-sized photographs, a statement of purpose, and, if applicable, a police clearance certificate and medical exam results. You can apply for your study permit either online through the IRCC website or by submitting a paper application to a Visa Application Centre. Most applicants prefer the online method for its speed and ease. When applying, you’ll need to pay an application fee of $150 CAD and a biometric fee of $85 CAD. After submission, you may be asked to provide biometrics (fingerprints and a photo), attend an interview, or submit additional documents. Once your application is reviewed and approved, you’ll receive a Letter of Introduction. Present this letter upon arrival in Canada, and your Study Permit will be issued at the port of entry.
