Canada Visas

If you are an international student, you must apply for a study permit before coming to Canada. This acts in the place of a visa and can be applied for through the Government of Canada website or at the Canadian embassy or consulate in your home country.

A study permit will allow you to stay in Canada for your course, plus 90 days. Within these 90 days, you must either apply to extend your stay or plan to leave the country.

If you cannot finish your studies before the date on your permit for whatever reason, you will need to 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, and this might differ from the original expiry date.

On average, an international student can expect to pay from $17,500 per year for an undergraduate degree. A postgraduate degree will cost, on average, around $16,500 per year, with prices ranging up to $50,000 per year for the most expensive courses.

There will be other costs that you need to consider when budgeting. These include administration fees ($150-$500), health insurance (around $600), and application fees (not always applicable, but around $250 if required).
