CANADA STUDENTS VISA

 

You can use the official Canadian study permit tool to find out if you need a study visa or permit. You don’t need a study visa if one of the following situations applies to you:

​

• You are a family or staff member of a foreign representative in Canada, who is accredited by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada.

• You enrol in a study programme that lasts less than six months.

• You are a member of foreign armed forces from the Visiting Forces Act.

• You are a citizen of another country, but you have an Indian status registered in Canada.

​

Remember that the study permit/visa does not act as a regular visa, which allows you to enter or travel to Canada. For that, you will need a travel visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).
