1. You Must be Eligible
To be eligible, you must:
- Obtain a LOA (Letter of Acceptance) from a DLI (Designated Learning Institution).
- Prove that you have sufficient financial support. This includes the amount you need to cover
- the first year of tuition, living expenses and return transportation to your home country.
- Get a Police Clearance Certificate to show that you have clean record.
- Be in good health.
- Be able to satisfy the immigration officer that you do not have any intention to stay in
- Canada at the end of your stay.
2. Assure the Immigration Officer that Your Actual Purpose Is To Study in Canada
To do so:
- Try to show that there’s a logical progression in your previous education and the one you’re going to pursue in Canada with your study permit.
- Prove you can support yourself, and the family members who come with you. This can be done through proof of a student or education loan from a bank, your bank statements for the past 4 months, a bank draft that can be converted to Canadian dollars, proof you paid tuition and housing fees, etc.
- Take a language test that is approved by the Canadian government.
- Include any documentation/information that help make it evident for the officer that you will leave Canada after the duration of your studies.
3. Apply Early and Keep Your Documents in Order
Applying well in advance gives you a better chance of avoiding delays. Processing times can vary, and unexpected issues might come up. Make sure all your documents—such as transcripts, letters of recommendation, and proof of funds—are complete and properly organized. A well-prepared application reduces the risk of unnecessary setbacks.
4. Meet Health and Security Requirements
Canada has strict rules regarding health and security screenings. You may need a medical exam or a police clearance certificate. Ensuring these requirements are met ahead of time can prevent complications with your application.
5. Stay Updated on Immigration Policies
Immigration rules change often. For example, since January 2024, most students must submit a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) along with their application.
