Finding a school is the first step in the process of becoming a student in Canada. No matter what your educational goals, Canada has the school for you. Finding the right school, and securing admission, is necessary for obtaining a study permit.
Admission Process
Finding the right school is the first step in this process. Before gaining admission, you should ensure that the program choice, the duration of the program and the purpose of studying make reasonable sense to accomplish the completion of the study plan requirement.
Gaining admission into a Canadian institution is a big step and you should note that not all schools in Canada you find on Google will qualify you for a graduate work permit after you complete your program. We work with schools that have an agreement with the government and will provide you with a post-graduate work permit that you can use to legally work full time after school, essentially needed if you intend to stay in Canada permanently.
We will guide you with the school and program search to find the Canadian academic destination best suited to your needs.
