As international student, you are required to obtain certain documentation from the Canadian embassies, visa offices or consulates abroad to study in Canada. Because understanding another countries’ immigration system can be challenging, we are here to provide you with information that will help to make this process easier.
Entry Visas Or eTAs
Temporary Resident Visas (TRVs), commonly called Entry Visas, are to be obtained by foreign nationals who require visas to enter Canada, while Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) allows foreign nationals from visa-exempted countries to enter Canada without a visa.
Study Permits
A study permit is a document that gives you permission to study in Canada on a temporary basis.
Working as International Student
As international student, you may be eligible to work in Canada while studying and after you graduate. As a study permit holder, you may qualify to work on-campus or off-campus without an additional work permit if you meet specific criteria. You may also apply for a post-graduation work permit after you graduate from an eligible institution.
Documents for Family Members
If your family members are going to live with you in Canada while you study at York, they should apply for visitor status at the same time as you. Please see below for more information on necessary documents for family members.
