Study in Canada – Student Visas & Pathways
Access world-class education and secure your future with Canada’s student visa and post-study pathways.
Why Choose Canada for Your Education?
Canada is home to globally ranked universities and colleges, affordable tuition compared to other destinations, and diverse multicultural communities. A study permit not only allows you to study but also opens doors to work and permanent residency.
Study Permit
Eligibility & Requirements
- Acceptance letter from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI)
- Proof of financial support for tuition & living expenses
- Clear medical & security checks
Students may also work part-time during studies and full-time during scheduled breaks.
Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
Work After Studies
Graduates from eligible DLIs can apply for an open work permit valid up to 3 years, based on program length. This valuable Canadian work experience helps qualify for PR pathways.
PR Transition
Work experience gained under PGWP makes students eligible for Express Entry (CEC) and Provincial Nominee Programs, fast-tracking their journey to permanent residency.
Student Direct Stream (SDS)
The SDS is a faster processing option for students from select countries, including India, China, Philippines, Pakistan, and Vietnam. Applicants must meet additional financial and language requirements.
Pathway from Study to Permanent Residency
Many international students choose Canada for its clear pathway to PR. Completing studies in Canada, followed by PGWP work experience, makes students highly competitive for Express Entry and PNP draws.
