Can I go to Canada as a visitor?

It depends on your ties to your country (permanent job, income, family, owning a house, etc.). If you can prove to an Immigration Officer that you will be coming back to your home country after your stay, you will be allowed entry to Canada.

For more information on the subject, please check out our detailed Visit Canada page.

How can I go and study in Canada?

You will have to be accepted in a post-secondary institution first, then you will need to apply for a Study Permit. If you can prove you have sufficient means to pay your tuition fees and provide for yourself during your studies, you should have no problem getting your Study Permit. 

​For more information on the subject, please visit our detailed Study in Canada page.

​Can I stay in Canada after the end of my studies?

You need to leave Canada before the expiration date on your Study Permit. However, if you are eligible, you can apply for a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP), or extend your study permit if you enroll in another study program. 

Can I become Permanent Resident without ever setting foot in Canada?

Yes you can! There multiple programs, such as Express Entry, Family sponsorships, or Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), that can let you immigrate to Canada if you are eligible.
