Overview
Study Permit for Pakistani Applicants
Pursuing higher education in Canada is an excellent opportunity for Pakistani 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 Pakistan upon completion. Processing times for Pakistani applicants currently average 10-16 weeks.
Pakistan has seen significant growth in student migration to Canada in recent years. Security screening may extend processing times, which makes early preparation essential. Go Far Global provides specialized support for Pakistani 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.
