Step Three - Apply for Study Permit and Visa

In order to study in Canada, international students must obtain a Study Permit from the Government of Canada. This application may be made online, and information on how to apply can be found on the Canadian Government Immigration and Citizenship website. Students will need their letter of acceptance, a valid passport and proof that they have the financial resources required for their stay. In addition, students under the age of 18 must have a completed Custodianship Declaration form. Additional information for students under 18 years of age can be found on the information for minor children page of the Immigration and Citizenship website.

Most visitors to Canada will require a Visa OR an Electronic Travel Authorization. For more information and to determine which documentation is required, please see the Immigration and Citizenship Visa web page and complete the questionnaire on it. Please note that students who apply for a study permit using the online process will automatically have their Visa or eTA issued at the same time as their Study Permit.

Medical Insurance

Medical insurance is mandatory a student's stay in Canada. Included in the provided coverage are hospital/clinic visits, prescriptions, family transportation, air ambulance, repatriation, emergency dental, one eye exam, out-of-province travel insurance, and emergency medical evacuation. Medical insurance coverage will be arranged by Prairie Land on a cost recovery basis.

Please note: Pre-existing conditions are not covered, nor are medical claims involving alcohol or drugs.
