Study Visa for Canada – Apply, Renew, and Secure Your Future

Canada’s 2026–2028 immigration plan sets clear study-permit goals — 155,000 international students in 2026, followed by 150,000 each in 2027 and 2028. The focus is on sustainable student intake to protect education quality and support Canada’s long-term talent strategy.

Planning to study in Canada?

Canada is home to top-ranked universities, diverse cultures, and a welcoming immigration system. However, getting your study visa approved, renewing your permit, or changing your Designated Learning Institution (DLI) can feel overwhelming.

At K7 Immigration, with guidance from a licensed RCIC (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant), you can ensure every detail of your application meets IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) standards.

Why Study in Canada?

According to a new plan prioritizing study visa approvals within sustainable limits, Canada aims to attract bright minds who can later transition to permanent residency and help drive innovation, fill labour gaps, and strengthen the economy.

Canada is one of the world’s most popular destinations for international students because:

✔ High-quality education with globally recognized degrees
✔ Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) leading to Permanent Residency
✔ Affordable tuition compared to other countries
✔ Safe and multicultural environment
✔ PR pathways like Canadian Experience Class (CEC) & OINP International Student Stream

1. New Study Visa Applications

Applying for a Canadian study permit requires:

A Letter of Acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI)
Proof of financial support
Medical and police clearance certificates
Strong Statement of Purpose (SOP)

Our RCIC ensures your application is complete, accurate, and aligned with IRCC guidelines, reducing the chances of refusal.

2. Study Permit Renewal

Is your study permit expiring soon? You must apply for renewal before it expires to maintain your legal status in Canada.

Key steps for study permit renewal:

Apply at least 30 days before expiry
Maintain full-time student status
Provide updated documents, including proof of continued enrollment

At K7 Immigration, we track deadlines, prepare all forms, and ensure a smooth renewal process so you can continue your education without interruption.

3. Change of DLI (Designated Learning Institution)

Planning to switch colleges or universities in Canada? You need to update IRCC about your new DLI to remain compliant.

How we help:

Guide you through DLI change procedures
Ensure your new institution is eligible for PGWP
Update your profile accurately on the IRCC portal

Changing your DLI without notifying IRCC can lead to study permit violations, which may impact your PR plans.

Eligibility Highlights:

Graduate from a Canadian post-secondary institution
Have a valid job offer from an Ontario employer

We help you:
✔ Understand OINP eligibility
✔ Prepare your application and supporting documents
