No. You can apply to study at the Can-College without a study permit if both of the following apply:
- your studies aren’t part of a longer study program
- you complete your studies within the amount of time we’ve approved you to stay in Canada
- This is usually 6 months after you enter
You will still need to apply for admission and get a Letter of Acceptance (LOA)
However, you may want to get a study permit even if you don’t need one.
A study permit isn’t a visa
Even though you don’t need a study permit, you still need a valid passport. Depending on your travel document, you also need one of the following:
- a visitor visa (temporary resident visa) (With a purpose to study)
- an electronic travel authorization (eTA) 9With a purpose to study)
Having one of these allows you to enter Canada.
