Studying In Canada

To begin, select the program of your choice. Then, apply to a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada. Once accepted, apply for a study permit to study in Canada legally. If you intend to stay in Canada after finishing your program, you will have several options to explore for obtaining permanent residency.

International students can receive a high-quality education at Canadian schools, which offer employment opportunities during and after their studies and the potential for permanent residency. Canada is a safe and welcoming environment for students from diverse backgrounds, and compared to other popular international student destinations, it is affordable. Students can also apply for a post-graduation work permit and extend their study permit if needed. Overall, Canada provides excellent opportunities for international students to thrive.

Canada has a roster of approved schools known as Designated Learning Institutions (DLI) that can admit international students for education. To secure a study permit, applicants must first acquire an acceptance letter from their intended DLI. It's important to remember that all elementary and high schools in Canada are considered DLIs.

Upon finishing high school, students can choose to continue their education in post-secondary institutions for advanced studies. The application process, fees, language proficiency requirements, and acceptance methods vary among institutions, whether a college, university, private career college or vocational and technical school.

Studying in Canada typically begins at age five and continues until age 18, covering elementary, middle, and high school education levels.

To get a Canadian student visa, you must meet the following conditions:

• Admission from Canadian public or private schools in one of the elementary, middle or high school courses

• Maximum age of 18 years

• Accompanying the student's father or mother and having a legal guardian (custodian) in Canada

• Proof of having sufficient financial ability to pay tuition and living expenses for one year in Canada

Note 1: Elementary school students must enter Canada with their parents or legal guardians and cannot apply alone.

Note 2: The custodian must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident

Elementary and high school admission in Canada does not require an English language test. While there is no minimum grade point average, good grades from previous years are essential. Additionally, some Canadian schools may conduct interviews to assess students' English language proficiency.
