Study in Canada
Studying in the best schools and prestigious universities in Canada with the best education system will provide students with a unique opportunity. While studying in a multicultural and multilingual country, you can improve your language and social skills and pave your way to find suitable job opportunities.
In order to study and stay temporarily in Canada, you need a study visa for courses that are longer than 6 months. A study visa allows you to enter Canada and stay for the duration of your studies. If you have a tourist visa and the duration of your study program is less than 6 months, you do not need to get a study visa.
Conditions for obtaining a Canadian study-student visa
- Obtaining admission from universities and colleges approved by the Department of Immigration (DLI) for applicants over 18 years of age
- Providing a language certificate with a score appropriate to the field and educational institution (if admission is not conditional on language, the chances of a visa are higher)

- Convincing the case officer about returning to the country of origin after the expiration of the study permit by providing sufficient evidence of work, financial and family dependence in the country of origin

The role of language certificate in student study visa
Providing a language certificate for admission is determined according to the field and level of study. In general, it is not necessary to provide a language certificate for admission to some undergraduate and college courses. In this case, it is possible to get admission conditional on language. However, it is always our suggestion to get accepted and submit the academic file by presenting a language certificate.
