Study in Canada
A clear path from study to work
Canada is chosen less for any single university than for what follows the degree. The Post-Graduation Work Permit is open, meaning you are not tied to one employer, and time worked on it counts towards permanent residence applications.

Why Canada
Three intakes a year
September, January and May all run properly, so a deferred plan does not mean waiting a full year.
An open work permit
The PGWP is not tied to a single employer, so you can change jobs without your status depending on it.
Study counts towards residence
Canadian qualifications and Canadian work experience both carry weight in the points-based permanent residence system.
Courses and intakes
Diplomas and advanced diplomas at colleges, plus bachelor's, master's and PhD at universities.
September is largest. January is well established. May is smaller and course choice is narrower.

Study permit
- You apply with your letter of acceptance and proof that you can cover tuition and living costs.
- Provincial documentation is part of the application for most applicants — we confirm what your province requires.
- Biometrics and a medical examination are usually needed.
- A study permit is not a visa on its own; the travel document is issued alongside it.
Canada has changed its study permit rules more than once in recent years, including caps and additional provincial paperwork. We check the current position before you apply.
Requirements and entitlements are set by each country's government and change from time to time. We confirm the current position for your intake before you apply.
