Canadian Temporary Visa

Below, we will give a brief explanation about Canada visitor visa and study permit which are two types of temporary visas in Canada.

Canada Study Permit

1- Study Permit Definition

The study permit is a document issued that allows foreigners to study in Canada. Most foreign nationals need a study permit to study in Canada.
A study permit is usually valid for the length of your study program, plus an extra 90 days. This extra time lets you prepare to leave Canada or apply to extend your stay.

• If you can’t finish your courses before the date on your permit, you must apply to extend your stay as a student.
• If you finish your studies early, your permit will stop being valid 90 days after you complete your studies.
If your school asked you to take some courses before they will accept you into the main program (conditional acceptance), the study permit will only be issued for the length of these courses. When you get accepted into the main program, you can apply to extend your stay as student from Canada.
If you plan to leave Canada during a scheduled break (such as the summer, or winter holidays and spring break), you need to show proof you are enrolled in your school when you return to Canada.
