Study Permit
A Canadian study permit is a document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows foreign nationals to study at designated learning institutions (DLIs) in Canada. Here are the key points to understand about the Canadian study permit:
- Permission to Study: A study permit grants you the legal authorization to study in Canada at an approved DLI.
- Duration: It is typically valid for the duration of your study program plus an additional 90 days. These 90 days allow you to prepare to leave Canada or apply for an extension or other permits.
- Work Opportunities:
- On-Campus Work: You can work on campus without a separate work permit.
- Off-Campus Work: If your study program is at least six months long and leads to a degree, diploma, or certificate, you can work off-campus for up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks.
- Accompanying Family Members: Your spouse or common-law partner may apply for an open work permit, and your dependent children may study at Canadian primary or secondary schools without needing separate study permits.
- Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP): After completing your studies, you may be eligible to apply for a PGWP, allowing you to work in Canada for up to three years.
