A foreign national who wishes to study in Canada may only do so if he/she is in possession of a Student Visa issued by Canadian immigration authorities.
For a foreign national to pursue a secondary or post-secondary education in Canada, there are two major steps that he/she will have to undertake:
He/She must be accepted in a program of study by a recognized Canadian secondary school or post-secondary institution
He/She must apply for and be granted a student authorization (and visa if required) from Canadian immigration authorities
When submitting an application for a student authorization, a foreign national will also need to provide the following documents:
Acceptance Letter from the Canadian educational institution
Proof of funds for school tuition and fees
Proof of funds to support himself/herself for the duration of his/her studies in Canada
Application Processing fee to be paid to the Canadian government
A police clearance certificate from his/her residence country if he/she is 18
