Overview

A Canadian study permit allows international students to study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada.

But before you even get to the application — you need the right school. We help you find a DLI that fits your goals and budget, complete your enrollment, and then handle your study permit application from start to finish. 

Despite recent headlines about tighter international student policies, getting a study permit remains very much possible for applicants from any country.

What matters is having a well-prepared application that addresses the key concerns officers look for. We help you get it right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can you help me find a school in Canada?

    Yes — we help you identify a Designated Learning Institution that fits your situation, goals, and budget, and handle the enrollment process before moving on to your study permit application.

  • Can I work while studying in Canada?

    Yes. Most full-time students at eligible institutions can work up to 20 hours per week off-campus during their studies and full-time during scheduled breaks — one of the most commonly overlooked benefits of a Canadian study permit.

  • Is it still possible to get a study permit after the recent government restrictions?

    Yes — and we say this from direct experience. Despite a lot of concern online, we have not seen any meaningful change in how officers assess applications. A strong, well-prepared application still gets approved.

  • Can my spouse work while I study in Canada?

    Depending on your institution and program, your spouse or common-law partner may qualify for an open work permit — allowing them to work for any employer in Canada while you complete your studies. This is worth exploring early as it significantly changes the financial picture for families.
