Common Questions

Study Permit FAQs

What is a DLI (Designated Learning Institution)?

A DLI is a Canadian school approved by a provincial or territorial government to host international students. Only programs at DLIs are eligible for study permits.

Can I work while studying in Canada?

Yes. Most full-time post-secondary students can work up to 20 hours per week off-campus during regular academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks.

What is a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)?

A PGWP allows graduates of eligible Canadian programs to work in Canada for up to 3 years after graduation, providing a direct pathway to permanent residency.

How long does a study permit take to process?

Processing times vary but typically range from 4–12 weeks. We recommend applying at least 3–4 months before your program start date.
