Your Guide to Canada Student Visa Requirements!
To study in Canada, a study permit is essential. While a visitor visa or Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) allows you to enter Canada, the study permit authorizes your stay and education. International students must maintain a valid study permit throughout their program.
At Abroad360 , we connect you with experienced migration experts who can assist in navigating the study permit application process and keep you informed about current immigration policies.
Maintaining Your Study Permit: To keep your study permit valid, you must remain actively enrolled in a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and make consistent progress towards completing your program.
Visitor Visa or eTA for Entry: Your study permit approval often comes accompanied by either a visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa – TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), which are your travel documents allowing entry into Canada. It’s crucial to understand the distinction: the study permit is for studying, and the visitor visa/eTA is for entry.
