A study permit is a document that allows foreign nationals to study at designated learning institutions (DLIs) in Canada. It's not a visa, but rather a permission to stay in Canada for the purpose of studying.
Generally, you need a study permit if you plan to study in Canada for more than 6 months. Some exceptions apply for certain programs and courses.
You can apply online or by mail. The process includes submitting documents, paying fees, and possibly attending an interview.
Standard processing takes approximately 2-3 months.
