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 $23,448 for living expenses), and demonstration of intent to return to Pakistan upon completion. Processing times for Pakistani applicants currently average 10-16 weeks.
