Starting your academic journey in Canada? Here's a simpler guide to getting your student visa:

1. Acceptance Letter: Get accepted into a Canadian school that's approved (called a Designated Learning Institution or DLI).
2. Passport: Make sure you have a valid passport.
3. Financial Proof: Show you can pay for tuition, living costs, and a trip home. You might use bank statements, a Canadian bank account, or a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC).
4. Study Permit Application: Fill out the application and give all the needed info and documents. The time it takes to process can vary, so apply early.
5. Stay Informed: Use the GCKey service to check your application status online.
6. Applying from Inside Canada: If you're already in Canada on a different visa, you might be able to switch to a student visa without leaving.
7. Extension: If your study permit is about to expire but you need more time, apply for an extension to stay legal.
