Student Visa from Nigeria to Canada

Student Visa from Nigeria to Canada Description

  • In order to study in Canada, you will need to obtain a Canadian study permit that serves as a Canadian student visa for the duration of your stay.
  • Once you have a Canadian study permit, you can apply to renew it from within Canada if you decide to continue your studies.
  • For full-time students registered at an accredited higher education institution, a study permit also allows you to work part-time on campus.
  • You may also be able to work off-campus, work as a co-op or intern as part of your program, stay in Canada as a permanent resident or find work after you graduate.
  • You can apply for a Canadian study permit either online or through a paper application, which can be obtained from the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) website.
  • Paper applications typically take about twice as long, and it is always recommended to check the processing times well in advance.
  • Applicants from Europe, the Middle East or Africa may need to provide biometrics (photograph and fingerprints) during visa application.
  • Some applicants may also need to get a medical exam and/or police check before submitting their application.
  • You will not be able to get a study permit if you have a criminal record – you may be asked to provide a Police Clearance Certificate as proof.
  • Unless you are from the US or St. Pierre and Miquelon, you will need to prove you have a valid passport which allows you to return to your country of origin after your course is complete.
  • Two passport-sized pictures are also required, with your name and date of birth written on the back.
  • You will also need to make sure you have enough money to pay for transportation to return home.
