Step 1: Understand the Requirements - make sure the prerequisites of the program and school of interest match your background, qualifications and experience.
Step 2: Choose your Course - select a program from a Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI) recognized by the government of Canada.
Step 3: Take the Language Proficiency Test – TOEFL and IELTS are the most popular and widely accepted. If your English is not good enough, you can always take an English pathway program.
Step 4: Apply and get admission to your program.
Step 5: Pay fees and receive a letter of acceptance.
Step 6: Apply for a study permit - all new study permits are issued at a Canadian port of entry.
Step 7: Travel to Canada - if your application is approved you will receive a Letter of Introduction at the Port of Entry (POE) as well as a travel visa (if required for your country of citizenship). These documents will authorize you to travel to a Canadian POE to obtain your study permit.
