Canada Student Visa (Study Permit) Requirements
To study in Canada, most international students need a Canadian study permit:
Eligibility Checklist
You must:
– Be accepted by a Designated Learning Institution (DLI)
– Demonstrate sufficient funds for tuition, living costs, and return travel
– Obey Canadian laws and meet health/character requirements
– Provide a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from your institution
– In most cases, include a Provincial/Territorial Attestation Letter (PAL/TAL) with your application — required for many post‑secondary programs starting 2024 onwards
PAL Explained:
A PAL or TAL is issued by a province/territory to confirm the student’s placement under Canada’s international student cap system. Without it, most study permit applications will be returned.
Canada Study Permit – Dependents (Spouse & Children)
International students may bring eligible family members with them to Canada:
Who Can Come?
– Spouse or common‑law partner
– Dependent children
These family members can accompany the student if included in the study permit application or added later as dependents under Canadian immigration guidelines.
Benefits for Dependents
– Spouse / Common‑law partners may be eligible for an Open Work Permit (allows working in Canada) depending on the principal student’s program level/length typically for postgraduate and degree programs.
– Children can attend Canadian schools (primary/secondary) with a valid study permit or as a dependent of the student.
– Open Study Permits: Under new policy, spouses and dependent children may be eligible for study permits not tied to a single DLI and without needing an LOA, if they meet the criteria and apply with the principal study/work permit holder.
