The Canada Study Permit is a temporary visa designed specifically for people who are not Canadian residents, but who want to study in the country. The application for a Canada Study Permit is made through a Canadian visa office in your country. Each country has a list of specific documents that you need to submit with your application. You must include all the required information and documentation in order for your study permit to be reviewed. If the required paperwork is not provided it will cause the application to be rejected and you will need to re-submit.
Most countries also insist on a temporary resident visa before you can submit a Canada Study Permit application. You must submit your college acceptance letter to prove your eligibility. You will also need to indicate the amount of money that you have available for your stay. You can download and print a copy of the Canada Study Permit application from the Internet and there is also a document checklist that provides a comprehensive list of the items necessary to accompany your application. You will also, of course, require a passport for entry. You will need to submit your photo for the visa along with the photos of any qualifying family members who will accompany you on your initial trip. Once the application is approved you will receive a letter of confirmation. You must have this letter with you, to show to the Canadian immigration officer when entering the country.
