Study in Canada from India

Why do students ask about Canada?

• Students ask about both universities and colleges, including programmes linked to work they have already done.
• Canada publishes its own study-permit and post-study work rules. Those pages, not this website, decide what you can apply for.
• Counselling is available from the Mumbai (Dahisar) and Surat desks, and online.

Which courses do students ask about?

These are subjects students raise in counselling. They are not a ranking, and Super 7 Visa does not claim a partnership with a university unless that agreement is published.

• Undergraduate and postgraduate degrees
• College diplomas and certificates
• Courses connected to the student’s existing work experience

Who can apply?

IRCC says you can apply to study in Canada if you are enrolled at a designated learning institution (DLI), can pay tuition, living costs and return travel for yourself and any family members who come with you, meet the health and character checks an officer asks for, and satisfy the officer that you will leave Canada when the study permit expires. A study permit is not the same document as an admission letter.

How does admission work?

The institution decides the offer. IRCC then asks for a letter of acceptance and, in most cases, a provincial or territorial attestation letter (PAL or TAL). IRCC says the school usually issues the PAL or TAL after you accept the offer and pay some or all of the tuition. Quebec uses a Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) instead. The school is also asked to confirm that the letter of acceptance is valid.

Language evidence

There is no single English or French score on the IRCC study-permit pages we read. The DLI publishes the test and score for the course. Some courses ask for IELTS or PTE, and some publish a waiver. We read the rule for the course you choose.

What are the application steps?

1. 1. Match a DLI and a course

   We compare your academics, budget and intake with the entry rules the institution has published. You choose where to apply.

2. 2. Admission decision

   The college or university issues or refuses the offer. Super 7 Visa does not decide admission.

3. 3. Acceptance documents

   After an offer, you obtain the letter of acceptance and the PAL, TAL or CAQ that applies. IRCC says most students need to accept the offer and pay tuition, in part or in full, before the attestation letter.

4. 4. Study-permit file

   We assemble the funds evidence and the other documents the IRCC page and the local visa office name. You submit the online application.

5. 5. IRCC decision

   An officer decides the study permit. A refusal can be reviewed with you. We do not guarantee an approval.

Which visa or permit is this?

IRCC publishes the study permit. The eligibility, document and financial-support pages were read on 11 November 2026. A later request from this environment timed out, so open those links before you rely on them. Super 7 Visa prepares files. IRCC makes the decision.

What funds and documents are involved?

IRCC’s proof-of-funds page, read on 11 November 2026, says living-expense amounts do not include tuition or transport. If you apply on or after 1 September 2026, the living-expense amount outside Quebec is CAD $23,448 for the applicant alone for the first year. Quebec uses the amounts published by the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration for the CAQ. You must show funds for the first year and, if the programme is longer than a year, how you will pay for the rest. IRCC gives examples such as a tuition receipt, an education loan, a scholarship letter, and six months of bank statements that also show where the money came from. Those examples are not a complete list.

Figures are quoted only where an official page stated them. The links and check date are in official sources.

Documents

IRCC’s document page separates items that are always required from items that depend on your situation and the visa office for the country you apply from. This is a reading of that page, not a substitute for the local instructions.

• Letter of acceptance from the DLI
• PAL, TAL, or a CAQ if you will study in Quebec
• Passport information page, and the original passport if the permit is approved
• Proof of funds for tuition, living costs and return travel
• A letter that explains why you want to study in Canada and that you understand your responsibilities as a student
• A medical exam or police certificate if IRCC asks for one
• Any extra documents named in the visa-office instructions for the country you apply from

Are scholarships available?

Canadian institutions and some governments publish their own awards. IRCC treats a scholarship letter as one possible proof of funds, and says that a scholarship which only covers tuition does not replace living-cost and travel evidence. We help you find awards that match the course. An award is not automatic.

If you need an education loan as well, see the education loan page.

What happens after the course?

Post-study work and later residence routes, where they exist, are published by the Canadian government and change. We explain the route that is published for your situation. We do not guarantee a work permit or permanent residence.

Which mistakes delay applications?

• Using the living-expense figure from before 1 September 2026 after that date
• Uploading the letter of acceptance in the wrong slot, which IRCC warns can disclose other documents to the school
• Showing a bank balance without the source of the money
• Treating an offer as a study permit
• Skipping the PAL, TAL or CAQ when the study location requires it
