Canada currently requires most applicants to submit a letter of acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and, where applicable, a Provincial Attestation Letter or Territorial Attestation Letter (PAL/TAL) with the study-permit application. There are exemptions, including certain degree-granting master's and doctoral students at public DLIs beginning January 1, 2026. (Canada)

Aafaq Global can provide guidance on:

Your overall cost depends on:

Consider:

Tuition Fees
+
Accommodation

Canada's study-permit eligibility rules require applicants to demonstrate enough money for tuition, living expenses and return transportation for themselves and accompanying family members where applicable. (Canada)

Important

Financial requirements can change. Always check the current official IRCC requirements before submitting a study-permit application.

Don't publish one generic “Canada costs X per year” figure.
