Study Permit
Application guidance for students planning to pursue eligible studies in Canada.
A study permit allows international students to study at a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada. Requirements have changed in recent years, including provincial attestation letters and updated financial thresholds.
With direct institutional partnerships, we help students choose a suitable program and prepare a clear, well-documented application with a strong study plan.

- Students accepted, or applying, to a Canadian DLI

- Workers in Canada exploring work-to-study options

- Letter of acceptance from a DLI
- Provincial or territorial attestation letter (where required)
- Proof of funds for tuition and living expenses

Study Permit: frequently asked questions
Can I work while studying in Canada?
Many study permit holders can work off-campus for a limited number of hours during academic sessions, subject to current rules and the conditions on their permit.
What is a provincial attestation letter?
Most new study permit applicants need a letter from the province or territory where they will study. Your institution usually helps you obtain it.
Will my study program lead to a PGWP?
Not every program is PGWP-eligible. Eligibility depends on the institution, program and current field-of-study rules, so it is worth checking before you apply.
