A Designated Learning Institution is a school approved by a provincial or territorial government to host international students. You must have an acceptance letter from a DLI to apply for a study permit.
A Guaranteed Investment Certificate is a way of demonstrating available living funds. Whether it is required depends on the stream you apply under and your circumstances.
Eligible study permit holders can generally work on or off campus subject to conditions and hour limits set by IRCC. These rules change periodically and should be confirmed before you rely on them.
Processing times vary considerably by country of application, time of year and completeness of your file. IRCC publishes current estimates, which we check when planning your timeline.
Canada has a structured post-graduation work route for graduates of eligible programmes. Eligibility depends on your institution, programme length and status, so it should be planned for before you enrol.
We assess your profile, shortlist realistic DLIs and programmes, support your application and documentation, guide the study permit process and help with pre-departure preparation.
