People from many countries do not need visas to study in Canada. Some people, however, do. You can find information about the basic requirements here.
Study Permits (Student Visas)
Study Permits (student
visas) are not required for English language courses that last 6 months or less.
People from
some countries, however, need Temporary Resident Permits
(Visitor Visas).
If you need a Study Permit, you can apply at a Canadian visa office, before coming to Canada. You cannot obtain
a Study Permit in Canada. You must obtain it before you come to Canada.
Letter of Acceptance
First, you need a Letter of Acceptance from the school. We will send a Letter
of Acceptance to you, after we receive your application form and tuition fees.

Medical Examinations
People with programs of 20 weeks or longer must sometimes have
medical examinations. It can take one to three months for the Canadian
government to process a medical examination report before approving a Study
Permit. If you cannot wait that long it is best to apply for a 16-week program.
The Study Permit can be extended after you come to Canada
US Visas - Visa Regulations in the US
To stop in the US on the way to Canada, you might need a visa. Visa regulations in the US changed in August, 2003. Now, people who need visas to travel in the US can no longer obtain special transit visas to change planes in the US. These people must now obtain US visas before going to the US.
