Study Permit
Study Permits, like most other aspects of immigration, have become quite complex.
If you need a Temporary Resident Visa to enter Canada, and you want to study for
longer than six months, then you need to apply for both a TRV and a Study Permit.
If you plan on doing a course of study that is less than six months, you do not
need a Study Permit; however, you might still need a TRV.
Applications for a Study Permit also require a significant number of documents in
support of an application. Again, if you are planning on coming here to study for
a significant length of time, you may have already paid for a flight and made a
deposit on the school program. For those reasons, you may want to enlist the help
of a lawyer, to increase the chance that your application is successful. If you
are willing to take a risk and wish to do it alone, you'll find all the information
that you need
here.
