Your Path to Studying in Canada
Research Programs and Institutions
Identify Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) that are eligible to host international students. Canada offers both universities (academic) and colleges (vocational). Check program-specific admission requirements and application deadlines. EduCanada's website is the primary official resource.
Gather Required Documents & Apply
Prepare official academic transcripts, proof of language proficiency (IELTS is widely accepted, with specific band requirements), and letters of recommendation. Apply directly through university portals. A compelling Statement of Purpose explaining your goals is often required.
Receive Letter of Acceptance (LOA)
After a successful application, the DLI will send you an official Letter of Acceptance (LOA). This document is essential for your study permit application. Review it carefully to ensure all details are correct.
Apply for a Canadian Study Permit
For many from Bangladesh, the Student Direct Stream (SDS) is the fastest route. This requires purchasing a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) and paying the first year of tuition upfront. Apply online via the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website.
Learn MoreBiometrics and Final Decision
You must provide biometrics (fingerprints and a photo) at a Visa Application Centre (VAC). After submission, wait for the IRCC to process your application. If approved, you will receive a Port of Entry (POE) Letter of Introduction, not the permit itself.
