Study in Canada

Renowned for its excellence from secondary through postgraduate levels, Canada attracts thousands of international students each year. With limited exemptions, a study permit is required before entry.

Are you planning to study in Canada? A study permit is your first legal step toward world-class education and a global career. At April In The Rockies Immigration Solutions, I help you secure your study permit with confidence—covering every detail from start to finish. Whether it’s your first application or you’re reapplying after a refusal, I’m your licensed immigration consultant and visa expert, committed to making your process seamless, stress-free, and successful.

What Is a Study Permit in Canada?

A study permit is a document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that authorizes foreign nationals to pursue full-time studies at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada. It is not itself a visa; if you require entry clearance, you’ll still need a Visitor Visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) alongside your permit.

What I Offer

  • Study Permit Process: I walk you through every step of securing your Canadian study permit—from assessing program eligibility and compiling your application package to filing with IRCC and managing any follow‑up requests—to ensure a smooth, on‑time approval.

  • Study Permit → PGWP → PR: I chart your entire post‑study journey: helping you obtain your Post‑Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), maximizing your work‑authorization period to build Canadian experience, and then strategizing the most effective pathway to permanent residence—whether through Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, or other streams.

  • Student‑to‑Worker Transition: As your study permit nears expiry, I guide you through options for maintaining legal status and employment in Canada—securing employer‑driven work permits, bridging open work permits, or other temporary‑resident visas—so you can seamlessly move from classroom to career.

  • Supporting Documents & Eligibility: I conduct a comprehensive review of your academic credentials, language results, financial proofs, and admissibility factors; then I prepare and polish every document—transcripts, statements of purpose, letters of explanation, and more—to present the strongest possible application package.

How to Apply for a Study Permit

The process begins with securing a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada. To get this, you’ll typically need:

  • Proof of language proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL, etc.)

  • Academic transcripts or secondary education certificates

  • Additional documents such as a statement of purpose or resume

Once you have your LOA, it’s crucial to apply for your study permit immediately. The Government of Canada recommends early application, as processing can take up to 12 weeks if you’re applying from outside Canada.

Documents Required to Apply for a Study Permit

To apply for a study permit in Canada, you must gather and submit the following key documents:

  • Letter of Acceptance (LOA): From a recognized Designated Learning Institution (DLI)

  • Proof of Funds: Show you can pay tuition fees and living expenses

  • Supporting Documents: May include:

    • Valid passport

    • Letter of explanation

    • Custodian declaration (for minors)

    • Digital photograph

    • Immigration medical exam (if required)
