Study Permit

First, you need to choose a university and enroll in a program

This is a crucial step because it is essential to note that an open work permit for graduates (Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)) is only available for those who have obtained a diploma from a university with DLI (Designated Learning Institution) accreditation. Provincial or territorial governments award institutions this accreditation. If the institution is DLI, it has been assessed and evaluated and is suitable for accepting and teaching international students.

We recommend that you pay attention to this important point and check with your advisor or school directly.

To apply to a college or university in Canada, you will need a minimal set of documents. The good news is that you do not have to be nervous about the entrance exams - in most cases, there are no such exams for international students. The package of documents for admission typically includes an IELTS Academic certificate/certificate of proficiency in French as proof of a decent knowledge of the language, along with several translated documents on education and work experience.

The requirements of universities vary depending on the province or territory in which the educational institution is located.

If you are concerned about what's better: college or university, let's be clear.
College means applied, hands-on learning. Many valuable life skills will prove beneficial in the future.

In terms of cost: The very average figure is 18,000 CAD per year.
The cost depends on several factors:

• College location (prices vary by province and territory)
• the program focus (for example, business programs will be cheaper than technical ones)
• the duration of the program.

Universities in Canada offer a range of continuing education and degree programs. There is a solid academic base and a lot of theory and research. Ultimately, you can apply for higher and more responsible positions, particularly after earning a master's degree.

Cost: Undergraduate programs tend to be more expensive than college programs. The cost per academic year starts at 18,000 CAD. Again, the price of the program directly depends on the university's location, the program level, and its duration.

So, you get into the university, then the next step is:
Collect and submit documents to apply for a study permit and a student visa.

Important! A Study Permit can be issued only based on a letter of admission from a recognized university (DLI).
