Applying to Canada from India
Letter of acceptance, then a study permitApply to the university or college first. Its letter of acceptance must come from a designated learning institution (every one on this page is). Then apply for a study permit; most students also need a provincial attestation letter.Study permit (IRCC) ↗
Work after you studyA post-graduation work permit (PGWP) depends on the school and the course. Every school here has some courses that qualify, but not all of them do. Check the course on IRCC before you pay.PGWP rules (IRCC) ↗
Not listed on purposeCollege courses taught at a private partner campus (“X College at Y”) and schools whose courses don't lead to a work permit are left out. You can still find them on the government's full list.Full DLI list ↗
