Study Permit

Individuals visiting Canada on a temporary purpose must apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to enter into Canada. Exception applies to visitors from a visa-exempt country.

Citizens of visa-exempt countries are required to obtain an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before their departure to Canada.

Visitors to Canada may visit for up to six months when they first enter Canada. Visitors who wish to stay longer must apply for an extension, and pay a new fee.

The Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit Canada for a period of up to two years without having to renew their status.

The application process is similar for a regular TRV. However, additional document is required to prove that the parents and grandparents will be well supported throughout their stay in Canada.

The key difference is that the Super Visa allows an individual to stay for up to two years at a time in Canada, while a 10-year multiple entry visa would only have a status period for each entry of six months only

Each Canadian province has a provincial nominee program which may support the foreign national for a work permit and nominate them for permanent residency in Canada through Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). These immigrants must have the skills, education, and work experience to contribute to the economy of that province or territory and must want to live there. Each province and territory has their own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and criteria for their PNP. 

The Atlantic Immigration Pilot is a fast-track immigration program that allows employers in Canada's four Atlantic provinces — Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island — to hire foreign nationals who are seeking permanent residence in one of these four provinces, for jobs they haven’t been able to fill locally. The pilot is also open to foreign graduates who have completed their studies in one of these four provinces.
