In order to study in Canada, international students usually require a Study Permit. This is a document available only after a college, university or other accredited educational institution has accepted you. Study Permits are only available for schools designated to accept international students. Designated learning institutions appear on the official Designated Learning Institutions list, but only at the post-secondary level. Primary and secondary schools throughout the country are automatically deemed as designated institutions.

Canada’s economy is diverse and growing. As a graduate who chose to study Canada, you could be a part of it.
International students can actually enter the Canadian workforce before graduating. This allows them to gain an income, build up valuable Canadian work experience, and create professional connections that can lead to opportunities at a later stage.
To be eligible for a study permit in Canada you must;
have been accepted by a school, college, university or other educational institution in Canada
prove that you have enough money to pay for your tuition fee and cover you and your family members (accompanying you) living expenses
have no criminal record. You may have to provide a police certificate(s)
be in good health and willing to complete a medical examination, if necessary
leave Canada at the end of your authorized stay.
Why study in Canada:
Many international students are choosing to study in Canada over other potential destinations — such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and France — because Canada offers certain advantages that may not be available elsewhere.
International students in Canada can work for up to 20 hours per week during the semester, and on a full-time basis during school breaks.
The tuition fees and other studies in Canada's costs, even for international students, are usually lower than in other countries.
The spouse or common-law partner of an international student may accompany the student in Canada. Not only that, spouses and partners may obtain an open work permit, allowing them to work any hours they wish and for any employer.
International students in Canada can bring their children to Canada, and the kids can attend one of Canada’s public elementary or secondary schools without needing their own study permit.
Canada’s largest cities are ranked among the best student cities by the QS World University Rankings, with Montreal ranked the best student city in the world and Vancouver and Toronto not far behind. Graduates can first study and then work in Canada for up to three years on an open post-graduation work permit.
Rather than closing the door on graduates who complete their studies in Canada or making things incredibly difficult, as some countries may do, Canada actively sets out to provide permanent residence pathways to students and graduates. Canada’s liberal citizenship naturalization process allows international students to count time spent on a study permit towards citizenship residency days requirements.
