Why Study in The UK

A formal letter from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada confirming admission to a specific program.

Most students must include a special PAL/TAL letter with their study permit application. This letter comes from the province or area where they want to study. Usually, if you apply without this PAL or TAL, they will send your application back, and the fee is non-refundable.

You need a passport or other travel paper that is not expired. Your passport or travel document is considered valid if it’s:

• legal
• not expired, and
• accepted by us (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada)

You need to show proof of financial support. It means you have enough money to take care of yourself (and any family who comes with you) while living in Canada.

This letter tells the visa officer about you and why you want to study in Canada.

You might need a health check. This could be if you want to stay in Canada longer than six months. It's also required if you have recently been to some countries. And if you plan to work in specific jobs that need to protect people's health, you'll need one, too.

A document confirming no criminal record, obtained from each country or territory where the applicant has resided for six months or more since the age of 18.

For applicants under 18 (or 19, depending on the province), a notarized declaration confirming that a responsible adult in Canada will act as a custodian during the study period is required.
