Study in Canada

Study at one of Canada’s Designated Learning Institutions and acquire a world class education. Upon completion of a Study Program you may be eligible to apply for a Post Graduate Work Permit. ​

Foreign nationals are required to obtain a study permit for engaging in academic, professional, vocational or other education or training that is more than 6 months in duration at a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada. ​

Students in Canada have the advantage of being able to work while studying. To gain the right to work off-campus, students must: ​

• have a valid study permit; be a full-time student;

• be enrolled at a designated learning institution at the post-secondary level or, in Quebec, a vocational program at the secondary level; and

• be studying in an academic, vocational or professional training program that leads to a degree, diploma or certificate that is at least six months in duration. ​

A study permit will allow a student to:

• work up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions; and

• work full-time during scheduled breaks, such as the winter and summer holidays or spring break. ​

After graduation, a post-graduate work permit may be issued on completion of the study program for the duration that the program, up to a maximum of three years.
