Authorization to study

In order to legally study in Canada, you must be authorized to do so by the appropriate immigration authorities. If you will be completing a program of studies with a duration of less than six months, then you are authorized to study without a CAQ and Study Permit and may study in Canada with a visitor status. For more information, see our Exchange and Visiting Students section of our website. If you will be completing a program of studies with a duration of more than six months, then you are authorized to study only if you have a valid CAQ and study permit. You are also authorized to study while waiting for your study permit extension application to be approved as long as you remain in Canada after the expiry of your previous study permit. Please see the definition of maintained status for more information.
