Overview
Study Permit for Chinese Applicants
Pursuing higher education in Canada is an excellent opportunity for Chinese students to gain world-class qualifications and potentially transition to permanent residence. The study permit application process requires acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), proof of financial capacity (tuition plus CAD $20,635 for living expenses), and demonstration of intent to return to China upon completion. Processing times for Chinese applicants currently average 10-16 weeks.
China has seen significant growth in student migration to Canada in recent years. Study permits represent majority of applications, which makes early preparation essential. Go Far Global provides specialized support for Chinese students, including DLI selection guidance, GIC setup assistance, document preparation, and application submission. We help you understand country-specific requirements and position your application for approval.
Canada offers excellent post-graduation work permit opportunities and pathways to permanent residence through programs like Canadian Experience Class. Our team can help you plan not just your study permit application, but your entire immigration journey from student to potential permanent resident.
