When will Canada start its study visa process? 

Updated on: Dec 14, 2023

Canada typically processes study visa applications throughout the year. The study visa application process is ongoing and you can apply at any time based on your intended start date for your program of study in Canada.

Ensure you are familiar with the academic calendar of the Canadian institution you plan to attend. Different programs may have different start dates and it's important to align your visa application with your program's start date. Ideally, it’s best to start to apply for a visa at least 4-5 months in advance.

Before starting your study permit application, gather all required documents, such as your acceptance letter from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), proof of funds, passport, language test scores (if applicable) and other supporting documents.

Seeking guidance from agencies or study abroad consultants like Edvoy can help you navigate the application process, understand the latest policies and requirements and improve your chances of a successful application.
