The money, honestly
What you spend.
What simply stays yours.
Most agents blur these two numbers together. The visa asks you to show funds — that money remains yours to live on in Canada. What you actually spend on the visa process is far smaller.

Admission to boarding,
one clear path.

Your institution arranges the Provincial/Territorial Attestation Letter — mandatory under the study-permit cap.

Step 4
Upfront medical
Complete an e-Medical with an IRCC panel physician before applying.
Step 5
Apply online
Submit forms, study plan/SOP and documents on your IRCC account; pay CAD 235 total fees.

Fingerprints and photo at a VFS VAC within 30 days of the biometric instruction letter.
Step 7
Decision
Approval comes as a Port of Entry Letter of Introduction; the permit itself is printed when you land in Canada.

Canada student-visa FAQs
Is Canada's SDS fast-track still open?
No — SDS closed on 8 Nov 2024. All Indian applicants now use the regular stream; a GIC plus paid tuition still makes a stronger file.
Do I lose the CAD 22,895 GIC money?
No. The GIC is your own deposit — it is released back to you in monthly instalments for living costs after you arrive in Canada.
How many hours can I work while studying?
24 hours/week off-campus during classes and full-time during scheduled breaks, provided your permit carries work conditions.
Can my spouse get a work permit?
Only if you study in a masters programme of 16+ months, a doctoral programme, or select professional degrees — spousal open work permits were tightened in 2024–25.
