Study permit
You need an attestation letter to apply for a study permit
As of January 22, 2024, most students must include an attestation letter from the province or territory where they plan to study with their study permit application.
If you apply without an attestation letter your application will be returned unless you’re either
- a minor child in a primary or secondary school (kindergarten to grade 12)
- a student in a masters, PhD or other post-graduate program
- a student applying to extend your study permit
