How to apply for a Student Permit:

Once you have been issued a C.A. Q., Immigration Québec will have sent your C.A.Q. reference number to the Consulate or Embassy nearest you. You must then apply for a Student Permit Visa from the Canadian Embassy or Consulate which is handling your application. Some embassies will send you the Student Permit application form and others will require you to pick them up. Because of these discrepancies, we encourage you to remain in close contact with the embassy handling your file so that you can obtain the proper forms as soon as possible.

Every application for a Student Permit must be accompanied by:

1) Photocopy of your passport
