A useful study plan starts with the course and the institution. Compare entry requirements, teaching language, location, tuition and the qualification you will receive. For post-secondary study, confirm the school and campus on the designated learning institution list. If working after graduation matters to you, check the specific program’s post-graduation work permit eligibility separately. A school’s designated status does not make every program eligible.
What to plan
- Build a shortlist around your academic history and career plans.
- Check the institution, campus and program against official records.
- Compare tuition, housing, insurance and refund policies.
- Map application dates, prerequisites and language requirements.
The process, step by step.
This is the typical sequence to discuss when agreeing your service. The exact requirements depend on your circumstances and current instructions.
Define your study goals
Set your subject, qualification, budget and preferred location using your academic history, career plans and family circumstances.
Check schools and programs
Compare admission requirements, campus designation and program-specific PGWP eligibility before choosing where to submit an application for admission.
Prepare admission applications
Follow each institution’s instructions for transcripts, language evidence, references and deadlines, then review any conditions in an offer.
Plan the immigration stage
Check deposits, refund terms, attestation requirements and study permit evidence before accepting an offer or making non-refundable commitments.
What to prepare
These are starting points for a discussion. The official checklist and your circumstances determine the documents required for an application.
- Academic transcripts and graduation certificates
- Passport and previous education history
- Language results, if the institution requires them
- Program descriptions, fee schedules and admission correspondence
Your questions, answered.
No. Verify the institution and the specific program, then check the rules that apply to your study permit application date.
Consider the education and career value first, alongside the current immigration rules. Those rules can change during a multi-year program.
