Temporary Visa

Study Permit
Study Permit
A Study Permit is a necessary visa to attend school in Canada. The term 'visa' here does not mean a visa to enter Canada, and therefore, a visitor visa or Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) may be required to enter Canada. Once your student visa application is approved, the Immigration Office will first issue you a visitor visa or electronic travel permit to enter Canada along with your student visa. One thing to note is that if you do not attend school regularly even though you have a student visa, you may be at a significant disadvantage when applying for a visa or permanent residency in the future, so you must consult with an expert.

How to apply and procedures

Normally, you must apply for a student visa before entering Canada. Depending on the case, you can apply within Canada or at the Canadian border, but it can be broadly divided into cases where you live in Canada and cases where you reside overseas.
