Who Needs a Study Permit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most<\/strong> international students need a study permit to study at a Canadian university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most students must apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada<\/a> (IRCC) for their study permit before coming to Canada to study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are general rules, but there are exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
