hi everyone my name is marilene Quintana and i'm a related canadian immigration consultant
and director of evisa immigration in today's video we are going to talk about study permit
but before we begin please subscribe to our channel and follow us on our social medias click
on the little bell right below so you can receive weekly notifications of new videos and please feel
free to leave us a comment a state permit is a document issued by the government of canada
that allow prospect students to study in canada at canadian designated learning institutions it is
important to remember that student permit does not allow you to enter canada and you also need a visa
is tempting your passport in order to travel to canada if you are applying for a study permit from
outside canada most likely the canadian consulate will issue a letter that will allow you to have
the state permit and also the visa that will allow you to enter canada however if you're
applying for a study permit from inside canada you are only going to receive the study permit
not the authorization to reenter canada so that's very important for you to know if you are planning
to study in canada for less than six months you may not need to apply for a study permit
this is because vista visas can allow you to study in canada for up to six months however if you wish
to stay in canada longer you must plan from the beginning what's going to be your strategy to
apply because the first study permit can only be applied from outside canada with exception
of few scenarios so if it's your intent to stay in canada longer it is very important to plan ahead
either before you come to canada or right after you arrive in canada now let's talk about study
permit eligibility in order to apply for a study permit you are required to present your passport
please bear in mind that it is recommended for your passport to be valid for the entire period
of your studies plus 92 days otherwise your state authorization will be limited to the
validity of your passport you also need to have been already accepted in a canadian institution
and have hand your letter of acceptance to include your application this is because your study permit
will only be issued for the duration of your program plus 92 days and what dictates the
duration of your program is this letter you also need to convince an officer that you have ties to
your home country and you have reasons to return to your home country after a period of studies
most important you also need to prove that you have enough funds to support yourself and your
family members during our stay in canada without working a lot of people ask me if i'm going to be
allowed to work part-time and my spouse is also going to be allowed to work full-time
why i cannot consider that i will have enough means to support myself through the work in canada
this is because the government wants to secure that if you are here in canada and for any reason
you cannot find employment or something happens and you are not able to work you are still going
to be able to support yourself and your family members without the need of work the minimum
amount required for your application depends on a series of factors including age your career
prospects the current economic scenario in your home country the course that you are studying and
how long you are proposing to stay in canada as the minimum threshold the government requires that
you cover the first year of tuition and enough funds to support yourself and your family for the
first year at your visa we usually recommend for you to have at least 30 to 50 more of the minimum
requirement so you have a safer application you may also need to prove that you have
no previous criminal conviction and that you have not done anything illegally in any other country
that you have visited or studied even though it's a country that is different from canada if you do
not meet the eligibility requirements the officer may have used your application needless to say
if you provided false or misleading information your application may also be refused however it's
going to be very hard to reverse that decision if is a group it is a full service agency and
we can assist you since the beginning of your education planning helping you to get accepted
into a canadian university or college applying for your visa application for you and your family
and also helping you with your medical insurance at the time you arrive in canada if you have had
a previous refusal we can also work with you to create a strategy and try to reverse that decision
and if you are interested our contact information is right below in the description of this video
let's talk about processing time depending on your home country government processing times
may vary from few weeks to several months so it is very important for you to apply with time to have
proper time to prepare your application to submit the documents to the canadian government
and have it processed before the expected start date of your program studies we strongly
recommend for a study plan to begin at least six months prior to the beginning of your classes
or preferably with at least one year before the expected beginning of your classes i think that's
