Study abroad · Canada
Canada offers post-graduation work of up to three years and a points-based route to settlement. Admission must come from a designated learning institution (DLI) — verify yours before paying deposits.
Step 1 — Get admitted by a DLI
Only designated learning institutions can host study-permit holders, and only some programmes qualify for the post-graduation work permit. Confirm both your institution’s DLI number and your programme’s PGWP eligibility on the official list, and obtain any provincial attestation letter your stream requires.
Step 2 — Prove funds and ties
Beyond first-year tuition, show the current cost-of-living amount for one year (raised substantially in recent years — check the live figure, not old guides), plus travel costs. Officers weigh study purpose and home ties heavily; a clear statement of purpose matters.
Step 3 — Apply for the study permit
Apply online with your acceptance letter, funds, biometrics and medical exam where required. Do not travel until the permit is approved; the university start date cannot move your immigration queue.

English proof for Canada
Most institutions accept IELTS Academic; some SDS-style streams historically required specific scores per band — confirm your stream’s current rule. Prepare with Jobins Training English courses to clear every band first time.
