What is a Canada Student Visa?
A Canada Student Visa generally involves obtaining a Study Permit, which allows eligible international students to study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada.
In many cases, students may also require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) depending on their nationality and travel requirements.
The Study Permit allows eligible students to pursue full-time education while complying with the conditions established by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
