Every year, thousands of students come to Canada to study. In order to do so, obtaining a study permit issued by the Canadian government is the first step. This permit, which is a type of Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), allows students to study in Canada for a temporary period of time. An applicant must fit certain set of requirements to be eligible for this immigration pathway.
