If you're applying for a Canadian study permit from Ludhiana, the process is straightforward once you know the sequence: acceptance first, then funds, then the application itself. Here's the order that actually works.
Step 1: Get a Letter of Acceptance
You need an acceptance letter from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) — not every Canadian school qualifies, so confirm the institution's DLI number before applying or paying any fees. Some provinces also require a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) alongside your acceptance letter as part of the current study permit intake system.
Step 2: Prove You Can Afford It
As of the current IRCC financial requirement, a single applicant must show CAD $22,895 available for the first year, on top of tuition — this covers living costs only, not tuition itself. If you're bringing family members, the required amount increases per person. Acceptable proof includes bank statements (typically the last 4 months), a Guaranteed Investment Certificate from a Canadian financial institution, proof of a student loan, or a paid tuition receipt combined with sponsor documentation.
Because this dollar figure is updated periodically by IRCC, always confirm the current amount on the official page before finalizing your financial documents.
Step 3: Apply for the Study Permit
With acceptance and funds in hand, you submit the study permit application with your passport, acceptance letter, proof of funds, and a statement of purpose explaining your study plan and ties to India. Processing times vary, so apply as early as your acceptance timeline allows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work while studying in Canada on a study permit?
Many study permit holders can work part-time during term (subject to current hour limits) and full-time during scheduled breaks — but this depends on conditions on your specific permit, so confirm before accepting any work.
Do I need IELTS for a Canadian study permit?
There's no single university-wide rule — English test requirements are set by the institution you're applying to, not by IRCC directly. Check your specific program's admission requirements.
What happens if my Designated Learning Institution isn't on the DLI list?
Your study permit application will likely be refused. Always verify DLI status directly through IRCC's official list before accepting an offer or paying fees.
Does World Immigration Terminal guarantee study permit approval?
No — approval decisions rest solely with IRCC. We help you assemble complete, accurate documentation to give you the strongest possible application.
