Study in Canada
A plain guide to the study permit, the provincial attestation letter, proof of funds and how to explain your plan honestly.
For most programmes you need a letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution, a provincial attestation letter, proof of funds, and then a study permit from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). IRCC publishes the list of designated institutions, so always check that your college or university is on it.
Not every programme leads to a post-graduation work permit, so check programme eligibility before you pay a deposit. If you are comparing countries, see study in the UK too.
Most new study permit applicants now need an attestation letter from the province or territory where they will study. Provinces share a limited number of attestations and the process differs between provinces and institutions. Some groups are exempt, and the exemptions have changed, so check IRCC before you assume you are one of them.
The Student Direct Stream ended in 2024. If a video, website or agent still describes it as an available fast route, that information is out of date. Applicants now use the regular study permit process.
Where a bank product such as a GIC is used to show funds, ask what it is for and whether it is actually required for your application. Do not buy anything until the requirement is confirmed on the IRCC site.
You must show proof of funds for tuition, living costs for you and any family coming with you, and travel. The current figures are on the IRCC website and we confirm them in your assessment. Officers check where the money came from, so show real, explained funds.
Canada allows students to have long term plans, but the officer must be satisfied that you will leave if your permit ends. A clear, truthful explanation of why this programme and why Canada is more useful than a copied statement. We help you write yours with real facts.
We review your profile, suggest realistic programmes, check documents before filing and help you explain your plan. We also tell you when a choice looks risky. If you have already been refused, see our visa refusal help. There is no file-opening or registration fee to assess your profile, and any service fee is explained in writing first. Read about our office or contact us.
This page is general information to help you prepare questions. It is not legal advice and it is not an offer of a visa or a place. Rules, fees and funds figures change, so please confirm every detail on the IRCC website before you rely on it. Universities decide admissions and the visa authority decides each visa, so no consultant can promise either result. If your profile is weak or a plan looks unrealistic, we will tell you honestly.
