How to apply for Canada Study Permit Visa from Bangladesh

The Canadian Government provides an opportunity to Bangladeshi students to study in the country but as a prerequisite, you’ll have to obtain a Study Permit and a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV).

What is a study permit?

This is not a visa, it’s a permit or a document issued by the Citizen and Immigration (CIC) which allows you to Study in Canada. If you hold a study permit, you must remain enrolled and make reasonable and timely progress towards completing your course.

Your study permit is always accompanied along by a visitor visa . Please note that a study permit is a document that allows you to study in Canada while a visitor visa allows you to enter Canada. 

Documents required for your study permit

To apply for your study permit, you will need:

  • An acceptance letter from Canadian education institution, and
  • A valid passport or travel document
  • Proof that you can support yourself or any family members who might accompany you, while you’re in Canada

  • Be in good health (you may need to complete a medical exam)
  • Have a letter of explanation: This letter explains your goals and interest to study in Canada

You will also be required to appear for a personal interview at the Canadian embassy or consulate.

To prove you can financially support yourself and any accompanying family members, you may be asked to provide:

  • Bank statements
