Apply to study in Canada as an international student, extend your study permit and find out about working while you study or after you graduate.

Before you apply

Before you apply for a study permit, you need the following:

• an acceptance letter from a designated learning institution (DLI)
• a valid passport or travel document

Find out which documents you need before you apply for a study permit.

You also must do the following:

• show proof that you have enough money to pay for your:
• tuition fees
• living expenses for yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada and
• return transportation for yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada
• be a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record and not be a risk to the security of Canada. You may have to provide a police certificate.
• be in good health. You may need to complete a medical exam.
• convince an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your studies.

Note: If your school asked you to take some courses before they will accept you into the main program (conditional acceptance), we will only issue your study permit for the length of these courses. When you get accepted into the main program, you can apply to extend your stay as student from within Canada.

Apply for a study permit outside Canada

You must apply for a study permit.

• If you are in Canada and don’t belong to one of the groups above: you must apply in person or by mail at the visa application centre (VAC) in Los Angeles.
• If you are outside Canada: apply online or use a paper application in a country where you are lawfully admitted.

Note: If you need an electronic travel authorization (eTA) or visa, we will issue it automatically at the same time as your study permit. You don’t need to apply separately or pay another fee.

Apply online

To apply online you must have the following:

• access to a scanner or digital camera to make electronic copies of your documents for uploading, and
• a valid credit card to pay with

Note: If you give an email address on your application, check it regularly for messages about your case. Some spam filters block these emails. If you are not sure you are getting our emails, please check your account on a regular basis.

Apply on paper

You can get help with your paper application at your nearest VAC or follow the steps below to prepare your application yourself:

1. Get the application package

The package includes the application guide and all the forms you need to fill out. Download the application package.

Find out which documents you will need to apply. Make sure you include them with your application.

Fill in the forms carefully and completely. We will not process incomplete application packages. We will return them to you.

2. Pay your application fees

In most countries, you must pay application fees in Canadian dollars. More about this and the methods you can use to pay are in the pay your fees tool.

If you apply on paper at a VAC, you will have to pay the VAC services fees. These fees are not included in your IRCC application fees.

3. Submit your application

Who can work on-campus?

You may work without a work permit on your school campus where you are studying if you:

• are a full-time post-secondary student at:
• a public post-secondary school, such as a college or university, or CEGEP in Quebec
• a private college-level school in Quebec that operates under the same rules as public schools, and is at least 50% funded by government grants, or
• a Canadian private school that can legally award degrees under provincial law
• have a valid study permit and
• have a Social Insurance Number (SIN).

You must stop working on campus on the day you are no longer studying full time or when your study permit expires

Who can work off-campus?

You may work off-campus without a work permit if you:

• have a valid study permit
• are a full-time student at a designated learning institution (DLI)
• have started studying
• are in a program that leads to a degree, diploma or certificate and is at least six months long and
• have a Social Insurance Number (SIN)

If you are no longer a full-time student, you may still work off-campus if you:

• have been a full-time student since you started your program in Canada and
• are now studying part-time only because this is your last semester (and you don’t need a full course-load to complete your program).

Use the self-assessment tool to see if you are eligible to work off-campus without a work permit.

If your situation changes and you no longer meet all the requirements, you must stop working off-campus.

You and your employer must make sure you are eligible to work off-campus without a work permit before you start working. If you start working off-campus but don’t meet the requirements, you may be asked to leave Canada.

Who can’t work off-campus?

Even if you are a full-time student at a DLI, you may not be allowed to work off-campus without a work permit. This is the case if you are:

• studying English or French as a second language (ESL/FSL)
• taking general interest courses or courses to prepare for another study program or
• a visiting or exchange student who won’t get a degree from your host school in Canada.

If one of these apply to you, you need to get a valid work permit to work in Canada.

How many hours can you work?

If you qualify to work off-campus, you can work up to 20 hours per week:

• during regular school sessions, or while you are studying if you are enrolled in an intensive program that doesn’t have scheduled breaks
• if you are studying part-time because you are completing the last session of your program
• if you are a graduate student who has completed the required courses for your degree

You can work full-time:

• during scheduled breaks, such as the winter and summer holidays or spring break, and
• after you finish your studies if you have applied for any other work permit.
