Student Visa
More than 130,000 students come to study in Canada every year and even
more come to Canada to learn English or French. To study in Canada, you
may need a study permit or a temporary resident visa, though not everyone
must have these documents.

To be eligible to study in Canada:

You must have been accepted by a school, college, university or other
educational institution in Canada.

You must prove that you have enough money to pay for your:

tuition fees

living expenses for yourself and any family members who come with
you to Canada and

return transportation for yourself and any family members who come
with you to Canada.


You must be a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record and not be a
risk to the security of Canada. You may have to provide a police
certificate.

You must be in good health and willing to complete a medical
examination, if necessary.

You must satisfy an immigration officer that you will leave Canada when
you have completed your studies.


Work Visa
Every year, over 90,000 foreign workers enter Canada to work temporarily
in jobs that help Canadian employers address skill shortages, or as
live-in caregivers. A work permit is needed for most temporary jobs in
Canada, though for some positions and business people it is not necessary.
You may apply for a work permit from outside Canada or inside Canada.

To apply for a work permit from outside Canada, you must submit the
following documents:

a job offer from a Canadian employer

a completed application, that shows that you meet the requirements of
the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Regulations, and

written confirmation from Human Resources and Social Development Canada
(HRSDC) that the employer can hire a foreign worker to fill the job.
This confirmation is called a positive labour market opinion.


You can only apply for a work permit from inside Canada if:

you have a valid study or work permit, or your spouse or parents have a
study or work permit

you have a work permit for one job but want to apply for a work permit
for a different job

you have a temporary resident permit that is valid for six months or
more or

you are in Canada because you have already applied for permanent
residence from inside Canada. You will have to pass certain stages in
the main application process before you can be eligible for a work
permit.
