Understand The Study Permit
A university admission does not automatically give a student permission to study in Canada. Most international students need a Study Permit and must meet the current IRCC requirements.
Elite Ivy provides Study Permit Support, including documentation guidance, financial document organisation, application assistance, and pre-departure planning.
IRCC makes the final immigration decision, so no Canada University Admission Consultant UAE can guarantee a study permit.
SDS
The Student Direct Stream (SDS) is no longer an active application route. Canada ended SDS on November 8, 2024, and applications submitted after its closure are processed through the regular study permit system.
Prepare Financial Documents
Financial planning is an important part of studying in Canada and applying for a study permit.
For applications in 2026, students must demonstrate that they have enough money to support themselves and any accompanying family members without relying on work in Canada. EduCanada currently advises students to budget at least CAD $23,000 per year for living costs, in addition to tuition.
Requirements can change, so students should always review the latest IRCC guidance before applying.
Understand PGWP Opportunities
The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) may allow eligible graduates to gain Canadian work experience after completing an eligible programme.
However, graduating from a Designated Learning Institution does not automatically make every student eligible for a PGWP. Current rules include language requirements, and some graduates may also need to meet field-of-study requirements. Bachelor's, master's, and doctoral graduates are treated differently from graduates of other programmes.
For this reason, PGWP eligibility should be considered before choosing a programme, not after graduation.
Co-op Programs
Some Canadian programmes include co-op placements, internships or other work-integrated learning. These opportunities can help students gain practical experience alongside their studies.
Eligible international students may also work off campus while studying, subject to current study permit conditions.
