Study Visa
Study Visa
A student visa, also termed as the study permit, is an official document that gives you the access to pursue international study in Canada for a predetermined time. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) organization is at the power of granting the students study visa or study permit. However, you may also require a Temporary Resident Visa to get admission in Canada depending on your citizenship, country, and residence.
All international students planning to study to Canada must meet the following eligibility criteria. Once IRCC determined that you have fulfilled all criteria, you are granted the study permit
- You must secure a letter of acceptance from an IRCC and Canadian government recognized educational institution in Canada
- You must not have any past criminal record and must have obtained a police certificate if required
- You must have cleared the medical exam if applicable
- You must be able to prove that you will leave the country once your study permit expired, or you must apply for the post-graduation work permit if found eligible
- You must show that you have enough funds to cover your living expenses, return transportation and first term tuition fees. All this will be validated by doing a record check of your bank account.
Working in Canada as an International Student:
Citizenship and Immigration Canada allows International Students to work in Canada in limited situations. Students are required to arrive in Canada with sufficient money to live and pay their bills while studying. However, in some cases, a student may be able to work in Canada during the course of study:
- On campus and Off Campus without a Work Permit (20 hours a week);
- In Co-op and Internship Programs, where work experience is part of the curriculum, with a Work Permit.
iMuuv immigration will guide you at every step of your application process so that you may ensure a smooth and perfect working on your student visa.
