A student visa, also known as a study permit, is a type of visa that allows foreign nationals to study at designated educational institutions in Canada. To obtain a student visa, individuals must first be accepted into a Canadian educational institution, prove that they have sufficient funds to cover their tuition fees and living expenses, and demonstrate that they intend to return to their home country after completing their studies. Student visas are usually issued for the duration of the study program, and holders may also be eligible to work part-time or full-time while studying.
