A Study Visa, officially known as a Study Permit, is a document issued by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) allowing international students to pursue their education at designated learning institutions (DLIs) across Canada. This permit is essential for courses lasting longer than six months. It’s important to note that while the Study Permit enables study, you may also need a visitor visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) depending on your country of origin for entry into Canada.
