Where can I apply for a study visa in Canada?

Where can I apply for a visa to study in Canada? What is the size of Canadian study visa? Today, I will answer your questions together.

The differences between a large visa and a small visa for studying in Canada are as follows:

What is a big sign?

A study permit is a student permit visa issued by the Immigration Bureau when an applicant enters Canada, commonly known as a visa. This kind of visa only allows students to study in Canada and cannot be used as a certificate for entry and exit. According to the length of study, the validity period of the study permit is different. Generally, the validity period of the study permit for undergraduates is 4 years, that for postgraduates is 1.5 to 2 years, and that for high school students is usually 1 year. If you still need to continue studying in Canada after the expiration of the study permit, you should apply for renewal at the local immigration office.

What is a small sign?

A small visa is a "visa" affixed to an applicant's passport. This kind of visa is the applicant's entry and exit certificate, which can also be called entry and exit visa. If the visa expires, the applicant must apply to the Immigration Bureau for visa extension before returning home to visit relatives or go to other countries, otherwise he may encounter the embarrassment of not being able to enter Canada after returning home. If the applicant leaves the country temporarily, he must also apply for a re-entry visa, otherwise he will not return to Canada.

Because the size of the visa is smaller than the study permit, the visa is called a small sign, and the study permit is called a large sign. The big sign and the small sign cannot be carried out at the same time, and you can only apply for a round-trip visa on the premise of ensuring the study visa; Generally, it takes 5 working days to apply for small sign renewal in China.

The "Confirmation Notice" clearly indicates your specific application date, that is, the date when the Immigration Bureau examines your renewal application.
