Canada Student Visa Information
Go directly to the Canadian government for student visa information. You can apply
directly and do not require an agent or legal advisor to complete the student visa
application form.
Obtaining your own visa is an excellent learning opportunity of
understanding how the government works (or doesn't). Practice your English, ask
for information, ask for advice, start the student visa application process correctly.
Have confidence in your ability to obtain a Canadian student visa directly.
A study permit is not required if the course or study program lasts six months or less. This document is based on the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act as passed on November 1, 2001, and its proposed Regulations, scheduled to be implemented on June 28, 2002.
Ottawa, April 27, 2006 Foreign students studying in Canada can apply for off-campus work permits effective immediately, the Honourable Monte Solberg, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, announced today.
Foreign students contribute approximately $4 billion a year to Canada's economy. There are about 100,000 foreign students in Canada who could be eligible for work permits under the Off-Campus Work Permit Program.
The program is not intended to take jobs away from Canadian students. Each applicant will be required to compete for employment on an equal basis with Canadians.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has signed agreements with most provinces to implement the program, and agreements with New Brunswick and the Yukon are currently being finalized. The agreements allow eligible foreign students at public post-secondary institutions to work off-campus for up to 20 hours a week during the school year
and full-time during study breaks.
Eligible foreign students can apply for an off-campus work permit immediately, and may be able to work off-campus as early as this summer. The work permit is valid for the duration of their study permit.
"CIC is working in cooperation with the provinces and territories to make Canada a destination of choice by making it easier for foreign students to work in Canada during and after their studies," said Minister Solberg. "Off-campus work agreements will make it easier for students to gain work experience in the Canadian labour market and earn extra income while studying," he said.
The Canadian Federation of Students, the Fédération étudiante universitaire du Québec, the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada and the Association of Canadian Community Colleges, who have all been consulted on the initiative, support efforts to make it easier for foreign students to work in Canada.
"With Canadian work experience, foreign students will be able to integrate into the Canadian labour force more quickly. This will help address skilled labour shortages in Canada," said Minister Solberg.
