A Student Visa allows international students to study at designated learning institutions (DLIs) in Canada. This visa is issued to individuals who have been accepted by a DLI and meet the necessary requirements to study in Canada.

To be eligible for a Student Visa, applicants must have a letter of acceptance from a DLI, prove that they have enough money to pay for tuition fees, living expenses, and return transportation, and meet other requirements such as being a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record and being in good health.

The application process for a Student Visa involves submitting an application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The application must include a letter of acceptance from a DLI, proof of financial support, and other supporting documents. The processing time for a Student Visa can vary, so it is important to apply well in advance of the intended start date of the study program.

A Student Visa is typically issued for the duration of the study program, plus an additional 90 days. The visa holder must comply with the conditions outlined in the visa, such as maintaining enrollment at a DLI and making progress towards completing the study program. Failure to comply with these conditions can result in the revocation of the visa and removal from Canada.

If the study program extends beyond the initial duration of the Student Visa, the visa holder may apply for an extension. The extension application must be submitted before the current visa expires and must include updated information and documentation to support the continued need for the visa.
