The Study Permit
A study permit is a document issued by the IRCC, that allows international students to study at Canadian-designated learning institutions (DLIs).
Although many people use “study permit” and “study visa” interchangeably, it is important to note that a study permit is not a visa.
You are not granted entry into Canada with a study permit.
