Student Visa:

Canadian academic institutions welcome students from around the world, who bring cultural enrichment to the educational scene in Canada. More than 101,000 foreign students were enrolled in Canadian institutions in 1998, not including students taking English or French as second language courses. You should ensure that the institution being considered is acceptable for purposes of a student authorization. As a student, you must meet certain requirements to obtain an authorization to study in Canada.

You must:

• present an acceptance letter from an educational institution in Canada;
• provide evidence of sufficient funds to pay for tuition and living costs;
• satisfy a visa officer that they will return home at the end of your studies;
• pass a medical examination if required;
• meet other requirements for visitors.

Foreign students may work only under certain circumstances, for instance:

• the work is part of the program of study;
• the work, up to one year after graduation, is in a field related to the studies;
• their source of funding is cut off through no fault of their own.

At the post-secondary level foreign student fees and other requirements vary depending on the institution. Individual institutions can provide details of fees, academic requirements and programs of study, as well as information on cost of living and health insurance.
