Study Permit Processing and Current Updates
Most study permit applications take 8 to 12 weeks, depending on your country and application stream. Application caps may affect processing times.
Critical Study Permit Changes
Canada limits study permit applications significantly each year, creating increased competition and stricter screening for all applications.
Students must now obtain a Provincial or Territorial Attestation Letter to qualify. This includes master’s and doctoral students.
You’ll need provincial attestation if you are:
Applying for undergraduate, college, or diploma programs
Already in Canada and changing immigration status
Enrolling in graduate studies
Without required documentation, your application will be refused. We help you confirm attestation requirements and secure proper documentation.
Minimum living expense requirements have increased significantly for single applicants, plus first-year tuition and travel costs.
Students changing between colleges or universities now require a new study permit approval before starting at the new institution.
Designated Learning Institutions must report student compliance twice yearly. Non-compliance could affect your immigration status.
