Applying for a Canadian study visa or study permit can be a complex process. If your first application is refused due to improper submission, the next application will become even more complicated and require more intense work. Therefore, before choosing a program and applying for a visa, it is important to consult a licensed Immigration Consultant to learn about the best practices.
Expertise Immigration would be delighted to assist and guide you with your study permit application.
Now, let’s look at the requirements for a study visa in Canada, including the application process, costs, and dos & don’ts.
The process for obtaining a study visa can be divided into two steps.
Step 1 : Apply for admission
The student needs to get admission from an eligible Canadian university/college, the so-called Designated Learning Institute (DLI), and obtain a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) or Territorial Attestation Letter (TAL).
Most students require a PAL/TAL for a study permit application, with some exceptions to this requirement.
To apply for admission, the basic documents include:
- Passport pages
- Educational documents
- Language test results – Most universities and colleges accept IELTS Academic, TOEFL, PTE, or Duolingo test scores for language proficiency requirements.
- Resume (optional)
- Letter of Recommendation (optional)
- Application Fees (Range 100 CAD to 250 CAD)
Expertise Immigration will assist you in finding the right course and the right institution. We are partnered with several Canadian universities, colleges, and schools to better serve you.
Step 2: Apply for a Study Visa
Most people require a visa to enter Canada. Once you have been admitted to a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), it is time to apply for a study visa. The specific documents required may vary depending on your nationality and country of residence, but most candidates will need the following documents.
- Letter of acceptance and/or PAL/TAL from a designated learning institution (DLI) Note: The college will issue the acceptance letter only after the deposit/tuition fee payment. Tuition fees can be in the range between 12,000 CAD to 25, 000 CAD per year.
- Proof of financials – It depends on the number of family members who will be traveling to Canada
- a valid passport or travel document
- proof of medical exam completed
- Statement of Purpose or Letter of intent to study in Canada
- Application Fees 150 CAD + Biometrics Fee 85 CAD.
Many study visa applications are rejected because they are incomplete. Some applicants fail to include important information, while others include unnecessary information that leads the officer to make a negative decision.Please take note of the following text:
It’s important to understand that no one can guarantee approval or influence a positive decision on your visa application. Instead of believing in fake promises, Expertise Immigration will do its best to submit a complete application and follow up with IRCC until a decision is made.

How to Choose an Immigration Consultant:
Most consultants are paid for college admissions by the college/university in the form of a commission. Therefore, their services are not free. It is advised not to choose an unlicensed representative. Rather, choose an immigration consultant who is authorized by CICC. Click the link to check if your immigration consultant is licensed.

4. Program length and the postgraduate work permit: Based on the length of the program, a postgraduate work permit is given. Two years of study will get you a 3 years work permit. So, be smart while choosing the program length. Note: The Post-graduation work permit is given only once in a lifetime.
NEVER DO THESE:
Please keep the following points in mind:
1. Never misrepresent. The IRCC takes misrepresentation offenses very seriously. If your application is refused on the basis of Misrepresentation IRPA 40(1), you will be banned for a period of 5 years.
2. Never choose a program that is not aligned with your previous education, experience, or areas of interest. Always review the program coursework, duration, and other details on the College/University website.
3. Never depend on only one program. Always apply to at least two programs from two different DLIs. Otherwise, you may lose the chance to get admission in a particular intake.
4. No information is insignificant. Take the time to complete the application accurately and review it thoroughly.
5. Do not provide any irrelevant documents with your application, as it may cause a delay in the process. as it may cause a delay in the process.
