Study Permits
Students who are non-residents in Canada and who are studying for more than 6 months must apply for a Canadian Study Permit before arriving in Canada.
*Please note that an official acceptance letter cannot be sent to each eligible student until we have received the student’s IELP/SELP application form and registration fee. The official acceptance letter should be used as part of the Study Permit application procedure of the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate.
