How to Study in Canada

Licensed RCIC guidance on studying in Canada: study permits, proof of funds, PAL, extensions, refused applications, and choosing a designated learning institution.

Canada is one of the world's leading destinations for international students, with respected institutions, post-graduation work options, and pathways that can support a future permanent residence application for those who qualify. A study permit is the document that allows you to study at a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada.

Why students choose Canada

  • Globally recognized colleges, universities, and programs
  • Post-graduation work permit (PGWP) options for eligible graduates
  • Immigration pathways that may support a future PR application for those who qualify
  • A safe, welcoming, and multicultural environment

Your study path, step by step

  1. Choose a designated learning institution (DLI) and program that fit your goals.
  2. Show you can fund your studies, and obtain a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) where it is required.
  3. Prepare and submit your study permit application.
  4. Maintain your status and extend your study permit when needed.
  5. If your application is refused, understand the reasons and plan a stronger re-application.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL)?
Many study permit applicants now need a PAL or TAL from the province, though requirements vary by applicant and program. See our PAL guide for details.
How much money do I need to show?
You generally need to show enough funds for your tuition and living costs, documented clearly and credibly. See proof of funds.
Can a study permit lead to permanent residence?
A study permit is temporary, but graduates who qualify may access work permits and PR pathways. Outcomes depend on your individual profile and eligibility.
Does MAK arrange admission or recruit for schools?
No. We are licensed Canadian immigration consultants (RCICs), not recruiters. We advise on your study permit and immigration options.
