Studying in Canada comes with a different set of formalities as compared to other countries. It's not a Canada student visa that we are looking at, but a permit or a document issued by the Immigration Department which allows an individual to study in Canada. If one secures this study permit, he or she must remain enrolled and they must make reasonable and timely progress towards completing their education. Apart from the study permit, one will also need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) for their entry into Canada. It is important to understand that a study permit is a document that allows one to study in Canada while a TRV is a visa that allows the aspiring student to enter Canada.

Documents required for your study permit in Canada

Here are some of the documents that you will need to apply for your study permit:

  • An acceptance letter from the educational institution where you wish to study
  • A valid passport or travel document to support your travel.
  • Prove that you have enough money to pay for your expenses like the tuition fees and living expenses. Students have to ensure that they pay at least the first year tuition fees and obtain a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) for a sum of CAD 10,000 to meet their living expenses for the first year.
  • You must be a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record and you must not be a risk to the security of Canada (you may have to provide a police certificate for the same)
  • One must be in good health and should ideally take up a medical examination pertaining to the same.
  • Documentation of a Canadian bank account in the name of the student, if money has been transferred to Canada
  • Documentation of a student/education loan from a financial institution from which you have procured it.
  • Bank statements citing one's financial capability.
  • A bank draft in convertible currency.
