Thinking about staying on longer in Canada to continue your studies, extend your internship, or get a job after graduation?

This section provides information for students and interns who are already in the country on a visitor*, student, or work visa and would like to renew their permits or get new ones so they can stay longer.

*Only certain visitors are allowed to apply for a study permit from within Canada:

• Visiting or exchange students
• Students having completed a course or short-term program of study required for them to be accepted by a particular educational institution
• Minor children studying at the primary and secondary levels

For more information, consult the Get a Study Permit section of the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website.
