 blue03_next.gifWhat do I need ?

  
You do not need a study permit if you are planning to study in a short-term program in Canada
     for six months or less.


  
Think carefully:
     We encourage you
to apply for a study permit before you come to Canada if you are planning to
     continue with your studies in another program after the short program.


  
This will allow you to apply for your new program from within Canada.
     Otherwise, you will have to apply for a Canadian visa office abroad and LEAVE CANADA.

 blue03_next.gifWhat happens at immigration at the airport or border?

 An officer from Citizenship and Immigration Canada will ask you a few short questions
 when you arrive.
 To make this go quickly, keep your passport with you and not in your luggage.

 The officer will stamp your passport to tell you how long you may stay in Canada. Feel free to ask  questions if you are unsure about anything.

 

 

 blue03_next.gifImportant

If you applied for a student visa in your country you must proceed to the office of Citizenship and Immigration to
RECEIVE YOUR STUDY PERMIT. This is a piece of paper which will be attached to your passport.

Please do not leave Immigration without your Study Permit. You will need it in the case you want to extend your study time.
