What is a study permit?

The study permit is a document that allows foreign nationals to study at designated learning institutions (DLIs) in Canada. Most foreign nationals need a study permit to study in Canada. Make sure you have all the documents you need before you apply. You should apply before you travel to Canada.

Your study permit is not a visa. It doesn't let you enter Canada. You may also need a visitor visa or an electronic travel authorization (eTA). If you do, a visitor visa or eTA will be issued with your study permit.
