Canada remains one of the most popular study destinations, but recent changes mean students need to plan carefully. Here's a summary of what matters most.
Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL)
Most study permit applicants must include a PAL issued by the province where their institution is located. Your college or university arranges this after you accept your offer.
Proof of funds
Students must show funds for living expenses in addition to first-year tuition and travel. A GIC is the most common way to demonstrate this.
PGWP eligibility
Post-graduation work permit eligibility now depends on your field of study for many college programmes, along with language requirements. Choose your programme carefully.
- Check the field-of-study list
- Meet the language benchmark
- Study at a PGWP-eligible institution
