What is a Canada Study Visa?

The Canada Study Visa (known as a Study Permit) is a mandatory document issued by the Canadian government that allows international students to pursue academic, professional, or vocational training at Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs). To qualify, you must possess a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from a DLI, provide a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL), and demonstrate sufficient financial stability through a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC).
