An international student is a visitor who has been approved by a Canadian Immigration Officer or Visa Officer to study in Canada.
This approval process is normally done at a visa office outside of Canada. The student authorization document identifies the level of study, and length of time that the individual may study in Canada.
International students must present a letter of acceptance from the institution they plan to attend. The student must then prove that they have sufficient financial resources to cover tuition and living costs, and satisfy to a Visa Officer that they plan to return home at the end of their studies. They may also be required to pass a medical examination.
Many college and university students are eligible for long-term authorizations, which permit the student to change courses or schools without further approval.
Citizens of the United States and dependents of foreign government officials can apply for student authorizations at Canadian ports of entry.
International students are allowed to work in Canada, under the following conditions:
- Work, if it is an essential part of the program under study
- Limited to 20 hrs per week during studies and 40 hours per week on breaks
