Do you want to study in the world’s most educated country? Three Canadian universities have made the world’s top 100 list of universities. The country has some of the highest-quality educational institutions in the world.

 

Studying in Canada can be a smart choice not only when it comes to improving your resume but also when it comes to advancing your career. An educational qualification from Canada can help you establish yourself in the professions, whether you live in Canada, internationally, or at home.

Canada values talented individuals so much that it has created both federal and provincial graduate programs to help talented students stay in Canada and gain work experience that leads to permanent residency.

Canada Study Programs

How Can I Become an International Student in Canada?

Canada continues to attract more international students every year. Many of these students can stay in Canada after they complete their studies.

The visa officer has full discretion when approving a Canadian study permit.

Over 400,000 international students got admitted to universities in Canada last year. Most of those students came from France, Nigeria, China, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Brazil, Iran, India, and Vietnam.

The Canadian government places a high priority on the diversity of international students. A new International Education Strategy (IES) called Building on Success was launched in 2019.

Over the next five years, the government plans to spend $147.9 million on this project.

Our International Student Program can help you improve your chances of success.

The application process includes the following steps:

• Choosing a program is one of the most important aspects of your application. If you want to study a program in Canada, you will need to make a strong case for why you should be admitted. Rankings are based on your work experience and educational background. A successful application will be more likely to be submitted if you follow these steps.

Canadian Study Permit

You need a Canadian study permit to study in Canada.

You can apply for a study permit to study in Canada once you have been accepted into a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).

Can I study without a permit?

You will need a study permit if you plan to study in Canada for longer than six months. Normally, the study permit lasts for the duration of your program plus 90 additional days. You will not require a study permit if your program is less than six months long, but you may want to apply for one anyway since it will allow you to earn some extra cash and work both on and off-campus. As an international student, you will need a work permit if you do not have a study permit.

Due to COVID-19 regulations, all international students in Canada are required to obtain a study permit or a visa, regardless of the duration of the program.
