Canada Study Permit
Study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), with possible post-graduation work options.
A Canadian study permit allows international students to study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). Most applicants need a letter of acceptance, a Provincial or Territorial Attestation Letter (PAL/TAL) where required, proof of funds and a clear study plan. Graduates of eligible programs may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).
