Study in Canada

From study permit applications to post-graduation work permits and permanent residency — we guide international students through every stage of their Canadian education journey.

The Full Picture

More Than Just a Study Permit

We help you plan from arrival all the way to permanent residency.

Study Permit

Required for most international students studying programs longer than 6 months at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada.

Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)

After graduating, many students qualify for an open work permit to gain Canadian work experience — a key step toward permanent residency.

Pathway to Permanent Residency

Canadian study experience adds valuable points to your profile and can open pathways to PR through Express Entry or Provincial Nominee Programs.
