Study Permit - Globus Immigration

Study at DLI approved institutions with exceptional Canadian education at school, college or university level.

Study in Canada

Each year Canada welcomes thousands of international students to experience world class education in Canada. Canada is a preferred destination for students from across the globe, as students get access to quality education, along with the ability to work while studying. Most importantly, studying in Canada unlocks the opportunity to choose a pathway to become a Canadian Permanent Resident.

Canadian immigration policies for international students make working after graduation, and permanent residency thereafter much easier as compared to the rest of the world. Whether you come to only study in Canada or to make Canada your permanent home, you must meet certain requirements to qualify. Immigration processes can be complicated as there are many factors to take into consideration before initiating the process. Hence, working with an experienced consultant who guides you through this step by step relieves your stress, provides confidence and peace of mind.

Your dependents may also be able to accompany you to Canada for the duration of your studies in Canada. Your spouse or common-law partner may be able to obtain a work permit, and your dependent children may be able to obtain a study permit at Canadian elementary and secondary schools. We can guide you through this and help you reunite with your loved ones.

At Globus, your study matters and we are ready to help you at every step of the process; from admission to submitting your application to finding pathways for permanently immigrating to Canada. Let us assist you in creating an application that is designed to make you stand out among the vast amount of applications received year-round. We also offer career counselling services to help you find an institution which is best suited to your profile and long term goals.

Study Permit- Regular Stream

A study permit allows you to legally study in Canada for the duration of the study permit that was issued to you. Generally, study permits are issued for studies that are 6 months or longer depending on the duration of your program, your passport validity or other factors. If your program is shorter than 6 months, then you will not need a study permit. Although you might need a temporary resident visa to enter and remain in Canada on a valid status. Depending on your nationality you may be required to obtain an eTa or a visa.

Having a Canadian education comes with its many benefits. Canada allows its valid study permit holders to work up to 20 hours a week while studying and full-time during breaks without a need of work permit. In addition to offering a world class education and experience, Canada offers its graduates a chance to enter the Canadian market and gain Canadian work experience. Having both Canadian education and work experience can be rewarding when and if you decide to pursue the pathway of permanent residence.
