Student visa to Canada. Study permit
Canada is a popular destination for international students. Studying in Canada offers a number of advantages, including high quality education recognized in international university rankings, a safe and stable environment in the country, the opportunity to gain experience living in a multicultural society, and the opportunity to combine study and work both during and after graduation.
A student visa is required for citizens of visa-free countries, as well as all international visitors studying at Canadian institutions for more than 6 months.
Canada offers a wide range of both short-term and long-term study programs for international students. Short-term programs may include language courses, summer schools or semester-long studies, allowing students to gain international experience in a matter of weeks or months. Longer-term programs, such as a bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree, offer the opportunity to pursue a full-fledged post-secondary education at one of Canada's leading universities. Regardless of the program you choose, studying in Canada is characterized by high quality, innovative approaches and work-life balance, making it an attractive destination for students from around the world who want to gain international experience and broaden their academic and professional prospects.
Unlike short-term study programs, for which a standard tourist visa will do, long-term study in Canada requires a special student visa and Study Permit.

Do I need a visa to Canada?
Most foreign nationals need to obtain a tourist visa to travel to Canada, including for study for up to 6 months. Exceptions are citizens of the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia and other countries, who will need to obtain an electronic travel authorization (eTA).
Temporary Resident Visa (TRV or Visitor visa) is issued for participation in short-term training programs and professional courses for up to six months. This visa does not require a special study permit, but you will need to provide official proof of enrollment in a training program.
If you are planning a short-term study program in Canada for up to 6 months and you are a citizen of a country with which Canada has a visa-free regime, you will not need to apply for a special student visa. However, you will need to apply for an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) in advance. For more information on the eTA application process and a complete list of visa-free countries, please visit the ETA section of our website.
If you plan to study in Canada for more than 6 months, you will need to apply for a special student visa.

It is important to note that Study Permit is not a visa, but a permission to study in Canada. Once it is approved, a TRV / Visitor Visa is automatically issued for entry into the country, which entitles you to stay in Canada for the entire period of study specified in the Study Permit.
