What is a study permit?

Canada study permit is a document we issue that allows foreign nationals to study at designated learning institutions (DLI) in Canada. Most foreign nationals need a study permit to study in Canada (Canada Student Visa ). Make sure you have all the documents you need before you apply. You should apply before you travel to Canada.

How long can you stay in Canada with a study permit?

A study permit is usually valid for the length of your study program, plus an extra 90 days. This extra time lets you prepare to leave Canada or apply to extend your stay.

· If you can’t finish your courses before the date on your permit, you must apply to extend your stay as a student.

· If you finish your studies early, your permit will stop being valid 90 days after you complete your studies (no matter what day is printed on the study permit).
