Studying in Canada: the essentials

How applying works

You usually apply directly to each university; universities in Ontario share one application system, OUAC. Entry requirements and deadlines differ between provinces and programmes, so check each university's international admissions page.

Study permit

You apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for a study permit with a letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution. Most students also need a provincial attestation letter (PAL). Check the latest rules on the Government of Canada website.

After you graduate

Eligible graduates can apply for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP); eligibility depends on your programme, so check it before you choose.

How a mentor can help

A mentor who studied there can tell you what the brochures don't: which universities and courses fit you, how to write a strong application, what the visa process was really like, and how much everyday life costs.

info Rules and fees change, so always confirm the details with the university and the official government website.
