Study permits
Study permits guidance for academic and vocational study in Canada — institution selection, evidence, and post-study planning.
Overview of Study permits
Study permits in Canada authorises full-time study at a designated institution, along with limited work rights and pathways to post-study options.
Refusals most often turn on financial evidence, study plan coherence, or perceived intent. We pre-empt all three.
