Introduction
If you’re planning to attend a post-secondary program in Canada, there are several steps that you must take. To get started, you’ll need to apply for permanent residence or study permit with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Once you have a study permit, you can apply for a student visa with the Canadian Consulate or Embassy in your home country. You’ll need to provide documents that prove your English proficiency. If you’re still in high school, you may be able to apply for a study permit that allows you to take classes and work part-time while you’re in Canada. If you’re already out of high school and have graduated from an institution recognized by IRCC, then you can apply for a post-secondary program at a Canadian college or university. When you apply for a student visa, you’ll need to provide documents that prove your English proficiency. This includes an acceptable TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score or IELTS (International English Language Testing System) score. You’ll also need to show proof of health insurance coverage while you’re in Canada and evidence that your parents or legal guardians will be able to support themselves during your stay there.

To apply for a study permit, you’ll need to have a valid passport. You can apply for up to 180 days before your travel date and up to 90 days after arrival in Canada.
Once you’ve filled out the required paperwork and submitted it online, your application will be reviewed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). If approved, IRCC will issue an Authorization Number that must be printed on all documents related to your studies (i..e., study permit) before leaving Canada; this number is used as proof of legal entry into Canada when applying for employment or permanent residency status upon graduation from an approved post-secondary institution.* — If you’re currently studying in Canada, and want to stay longer, apply for a post-graduation work permit. This is an opportunity for students who have graduated from a Canadian post-secondary institution (or will do so within six months of applying) to apply for a work permit that allows you to live and work in Canada for up to three years after graduation. This is great news if you’re thinking of staying in Canada after graduation, because it allows you to gain valuable experience working in your field (and earning money!) while applying for permanent residency status.
