What Are My Chances of Becoming an International Student in Canada?

Every year, the number of overseas students in Canada increases. After finishing their courses, many of them are able to stay in Canada.
The decision to grant a Canadian study permit is always at the discretion of the visa officer.
Over 400,000 overseas students were admitted to Canada last year. The students were mostly from France, Nigeria, China, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Brazil, Iran, India, and Vietnam.
The Canadian government prioritises international student diversity. Building on Success, a new International Education Strategy, was unveiled in 2019. (IES).
Over the next five years, the government has budgeted $147.9 million dollars toward this goal.
Working with us through our International Student Program can increase your chances of success.

What is a Canadian Study Permit?

A Canadian study permit is the document that authorises you to attend a Canadian school.
You can apply for a Canadian study visa if you have been approved to study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).

How to Study in Canada for Free

For international students who desire to study in Canada, there are numerous scholarship alternatives.
Your options will be determined by your topic of study or research as well as your place of origin.

What is a Designated Learning Institution (DLI)?

Any school that is permitted to accommodate international students is referred to as a designated learning institution (DLI).
All Canadian primary and secondary schools are DLIs and can accept students from other countries.
Because not all post-secondary institutions are DLIs, you must first consult the Canadian government's list of DLIs before applying.

What are the Different Types of Canadian Post-Secondary Schools?

Canada has a reputation for making quality education available to international students. To determine which programme is best for you, you must first comprehend Canada's levels of study.
Post-secondary education in Canada refers to any educational programme above the twelfth grade. There are several sorts of postsecondary education, each with a distinct purpose.
Admissions requirements for specific programmes may exist.
Our objective is to ensure that you meet the minimum admissions requirements for every programme for which you apply.

Do I Need to Take the IELTS to Study in Canada?

To study in a Canadian school, you must be fluent in either English or French.
Canadian post-secondary schools set their own requirements for international students' language ability. Language skill needs differ from school to school.
You should research the exact requirements for your programme while preparing your application. Some colleges even allow you to finish your English classes after you start your studies.
Some international students are exempt from providing proof of language proficiency. If you are from an English-speaking nation or have previously studied in English, you may not be required to take the IELTS.
Every school has its own language standards. It is critical to research the unique requirements of the school to which you wish to apply.

Do I Need to Submit a Letter of Intent to Study in Canada?

Your letter of intent is an important aspect of your application for a study permit. It should clarify your plans to study in the country as well as your objectives. You must accept the terms and conditions of your Canadian study permit.
The letter of intent's objective is to reassure the Canadian government that you will follow the terms of your permission. When your permit expires, you must agree to leave the country.
Our international student programme can help you write the greatest letter of intent possible!

When is the Deadline to Apply?

Every school has its own deadline. You should submit your application well before the deadline.
Every year, Canadian schools get a deluge of applications. Schools grow more discriminating as the deadline approaches. The more prestigious colleges are more competitive, so the earlier you apply, the better.

Can I Work While Studying in Canada?

Yes! Another advantage of studying in Canada is that international students are permitted to work. This helps to cover tuition and living expenses.
During the school year, international students in Canada can work part-time (up to 20 hours per week). International students may work full-time during specified breaks such as summer vacation.
Most students do not require a work permit to work while studying, whether on or off campus. Your study permit will specify whether or not you are permitted to work off campus.
You may be able to work more than 20 hours per week if your programme of study involves job experience. This will be stated in your acceptance letter. If the government agrees to this requirement, you will be awarded a job permit as well as a study permission. This work permit allows you to work solely on campus.

Can I Bring My Family With Me While I Study?

International students who are married or have children may prefer to travel with their families.
Study permit applications with accompanying family members will be considered by Canadian visa officers. It is important to note that listing family members on a study permit application may sway the visa officer's judgement.
If your family is approved, your spouse will be able to work full-time in Canada. Any youngsters that accompany you will be able to learn for free.
