Besides, you will be able to know the documents necessary for application.<\/li><li>You may also need to obtain a temporary residence permit, which people from certain countries can obtain. More information about these countries is available when visiting the Canadian Immigration and Residence Service.<\/li><li>If you are eligible, you will receive your own reference code. Basically, this code is only valid for 60 days.<\/li><li>Make sure to read the visa application guide, which will contain information about the estimated tuition fee, a list of documents that you will need to provide with your visa application, as well as some guidelines.<\/li><li>Once you have completed your documents, application form, and payment of your fees, you can send your completed application to the Canadian Immigration and Residence Department website.<\/li><li>At last, some applicants need to perform to do an interview at the local visa office in the home country.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_requirements_for_a_study_visa_in_Canada\"><\/span>What are the requirements for a study visa in Canada?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"checklist tie-list-shortcode\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Some applicants from certain countries need to provide some biological information, such as personal photos and fingerprints.<\/li><li>A comprehensive medical examination, along with a disease-free certificate.

For this, the applicant shall present a clean criminal record.<\/li><li>A copy of a valid passport that allows you to return to your country of origin after the completion of your program or course of study. That is a permanent passport.<\/li><li>Two passport-size photographs, with the applicant\u2019s name and date of birth written on its back.<\/li><li>Proof of financial support, and currently proof of possession of CAD 10,000 (equivalent to US $7,340). It&#8217;s a mandatory requirement for each year of residency. Besides, tuition and return costs to the home country. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, document proof can be in the form of bank statements, a Canadian bank account. This shall be in the name of the applicant to which the money is transferred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, it can be proof of payment of tuition and accommodation fees, a letter from a person or institution providing you with money, or proof of funding paid from within Canada if you have a scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Study_permit_processing_time\"><\/span>Study permit processing time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A study permit in Canada costs CAD150. But after the visa submission, applicants may need to pay additional service charges, depending on their country of origin. Moreover, students also need to pay a biometric fee of CAD 85.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Processing time for the student visa in Canada depends as well on the applicant&#8217;s nationality. The shortest delay would be 1 to 2 weeks. But for some country, it can take up to 16 weeks. On busy periods, it takes longer to process the visa, like when you apply at a date that is close to the beginning of Canada&#8217;s academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conditions_for_part-time_work_visas_while_studying\"><\/span>Conditions for part-time work visas while studying<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Valid study permit.<\/li><li>Admission and registration in an educational institution for full-time study.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth noting that your study permit expires in a period of 90 days after graduation from your study program.
