Study in Canada – Trusted Study Permit Guidance for a Seamless Start
Canada attracts over 800,000 international students annually, offering top-ranked universities, a multicultural environment, and attractive post-study work and immigration options. But gaining entry starts with a well-prepared and convincing study permit application.
At Phantom Immigration, we provide detailed guidance on preparing a successful study permit application, tailored to your academic goals and future PR plans.
Who Needs a Canadian Study Permit?
You must apply for a Study Permit if:
- You’ve received a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada
- Your course duration exceeds 6 months
- You intend to transition to a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) or PR in the future
If you’re eligible for the Student Direct Stream (SDS), you may benefit from faster processing—provided you meet all financial and language test benchmarks.
Key Study Permit Requirements
- Letter of Acceptance (LOA): From a registered DLI in Canada
- Proof of Funds: Showing ability to pay tuition, living expenses, and return travel
- Statement of Purpose (SOP): A compelling explanation of why you chose the course and how it aligns with your career
- Language Test Scores: IELTS Academic or equivalent, where required
- Medical Exam & Police Clearance: If mandated by your country or program
- Biometrics & TRV/eTA: For visa issuance and travel authorization
Common Mistakes in Study Permit Applications
- Submitting a generic or unclear SOP that doesn’t reflect academic intent
- Providing incomplete financial documents or inconsistent income sources
- Selecting a program unrelated to past education/work experience
- Missing biometric appointments or uploading incorrect file formats.
- Failing to understand SDS vs. regular stream differences
