Depending on your country of origin and the type and length of study, you may require: • A temporary resident visa • A study permit • For Quebec-bound students, a CAQ (Quebec Application Certificate)
The type of documentation required depends on your country of origin, the program you are taking, and the length of your study: • Any study program of up to six months: no study permit is required • Programs longer than six months require a study permit
If you will be studying in a program of six months or less, but think you may continue your studies in another program after this short-term program is completed, you should apply for a study permit before you come to Canada. If you do not have a valid study permit and wish to continue your studies, you will have to leave Canada in order to apply for one.
NOTE: A temporary resident visa may be required depending on your country of origin. Please see the list of countries that require a temporary resident visa as provided by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. More information on the process of applying for a study permit is available on Citizenship and Immigration Canada's web site.
