Now is the time to continue your studies in Canada. Wondering how? You must not worry, the information in I am going to provide will shine a light on your path and bring your dream of studying in Canada to life.
Read this twice… A travel permit allows international students to swiftly study in Canada. The interesting thing is that family members are also allowed to apply for visas to come with you the (International Student). If you are married, your spouse or partner is likely to receive an open work permit which would make it easier for them to work for any Canadian employer. Also your child/children if you have any will receive a study permit to study at Canadian elementary and secondary schools.
Now let’s get to the big deal…
By now you should know that as a student planning to move to Canada, you must get your study permit ready. Study permit is the document the Canadian government gives to foreigners which enables them to study at a designated learning institutions(DLIs) in Canada.
These are the steps you should take to obtain a study and move to Canada. It’s not rocket science or any magic.
If you stealthily follow these steps, in no time your dream of living and studying in Canada would actualize.
1• Carefully choose the designated learning Institution(DLI): The very first thing that should come to your mind is to choose a DLI in Canada that meets all the requirements of the Canadian government. You can access tons of DLIs on the Government of Canada website.
2• Time to apply for admission: After you must have taken your time to choose a DLI, its now time to apply for admission to the institution, guess what, you will receive a letter of acceptance if you qualify.
3• Please bring together all the required documents: Your passport, proof of financial support, and evidence that you are truly from your home country. These are what make up the “required documents”.
4• It’s time to apply for study permit: I hope you know you can apply for study permit online or in person? It should be done at a Canadian Visa application center. You will pay a fee and also provide your letter of acceptance, proof of financial support, and other documents that might be needed.
5• A little patience will not hurt: You have to wait for your application to be processed after submitting it. The duration for the processing will differ depending on the country you are applying from and how many documents need to be looked into.
6• Now kiss your country and loved ones goodbye: You can now travel to Canada if your study permit is approved. A letter of introduction will be given to you to enable you to travel to Canada. This letter will be shown to the border services officers along with your passport and other documents, you should better take note of this.
7• Time to study in Canada: Immediately you get to Canada, you should begin your studies at the DLI you chose. Make sure to abide with the condition of your study permit and don’t do anything to get you into trouble, so that you can maintain your status as a student in Canada.
I encourage students to apply for schools and study permit on time. Reason is, it is likely to take up to six months to get a school acceptance letter and up to 4 months for the Canadian government to approve your visa. It would be thoughtful of you to do these things quickly so that you can arrive early adjust and explore your new environment.
