Study in
Canada.

A clear route from study to permanent residency, on rules that have tightened sharply. This is what Canada currently requires.

The Advantage

Why Choose Canada?

Canada remains one of the clearest routes from study to permanent residency, but the rules have tightened considerably since 2024. Study permit numbers are capped, the funds you must show have risen twice, and post-study work eligibility now depends on what you study.

With flexible work-study programs and diverse communities across major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, it is the perfect place to build a global career.

The Process

Pathways & Requirements

University & College

From top-tier universities to highly practical colleges offering diplomas and degrees, we help you find the perfect academic fit.

PGWP Opportunities

The Post-Graduation Work Permit gives up to three years of open work authorisation after a qualifying programme. Eligibility for many college programmes now depends on the field of study, so the course you choose decides whether this route stays open.

Language Requirements

Whether you need IELTS for English or TEF for French regions like Quebec, we guide you on the exact scores required for admission.

Study Permits

We assemble your study permit application, evidence your funds properly, and draft the letter of explanation. Weak or unexplained financial evidence is the most common reason these are refused.

Living in Canada

Housing in Toronto and Vancouver is genuinely difficult and expensive. We help you secure something before you fly, and will tell you honestly if your budget points you toward a different city.

Work While Studying

Study permits allow off-campus work during term and full-time during scheduled breaks. The permitted hours have changed more than once recently, so confirm the current limit before relying on that income.

The detail

What Canada actually requires

Canada changed more between 2024 and 2026 than any other destination on this site. A lot of advice still circulating is simply out of date.

The funds requirement went up on 1 September

A single applicant outside Quebec must now show CAD 23,448 for living costs, up from CAD 22,895. That is on top of your first year’s tuition, which must be evidenced separately. Quebec sets its own, higher figure. Anyone quoting the old number is working from stale guidance.

Your course decides your work permit

Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility for many college programmes now depends on the field of study, rather than applying to every qualifying programme as it once did. This is the single most important thing to check before you accept an offer, because it cannot be fixed afterwards.

Study permits are capped

Canada limits how many study permits are issued each year and allocates them by province. Most applicants now need a provincial attestation letter from the province where they intend to study, obtained through the institution. It is another step, with its own timing.

How you show the money matters

A Guaranteed Investment Certificate is the cleanest way to evidence living costs, even though it is no longer compulsory. What fails is a lump sum appearing days before you apply. Officers read that as borrowed money, and a six-month history with an explained source is what they want to see instead.

Permanent residency is a points calculation

Express Entry ranks candidates on age, education, language and Canadian work experience. Language is the factor most within your control, and moving up a band can change which draws you fall into. Provincial Nominee Programs outside Ontario and British Columbia are often the more realistic route.

Quebec is a different system

Quebec runs its own immigration selection and its own financial thresholds, and French is weighted heavily. If you are considering Montreal, treat it as a separate route rather than a variation of the Canadian one.

Requirements checked 9 September 2026. Canadian rules have moved repeatedly, so confirm anything you plan to act on. The cost calculator shows the full first-year figure, separating what you spend from what you only need to show.
