Questions
Frequently asked Questions.
-
Are international students allowed to work in Canada?
Yes, international students can work in Canada. They can work on or off-campus for up to 20 hours a week. For on-campus jobs, no work permit is required.
After graduation, if the program/course is longer than 8 months, they can apply for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) that allows them to work in Canada for up to 3 years.
-
How Can I Study in Canada at the Lowest Cost?
To study in Canada cost-effectively, consider enrolling in a two-year program at a Canadian college. These colleges offer high-quality education with tuition fees significantly lower than universities, typically between 10,000 and 13,000 CAD per year.
Note: Due to a cap on international student intake in 2024 and 2025, getting a study permit may be more competitive.
-
Can I bring my family with me while studying in Canada?
Yes, in most cases, international students can bring their immediate family members (spouse and children) with them to Canada while studying.
-
Can I depend on the job to cover my living expenses?
Yes, it is possible to rely on a job for daily life expenses in Canada, depending on the province you choose. On average, international students can earn around 800 CAD per month. However, this amount may vary depending on the type of job and location. It's essential to consider the cost of living in the province you select, as some provinces have higher expenses than others. Opting for provinces with lower living costs can make it more feasible to cover daily expenses with income from part-time work.
-
Do Canadian banks give student loans to international students?
No, it is uncommon for Canadian banks to provide student loans to international students. Banks are hesitant to loan money to non-residents who could leave the country at any time. Additionally, one of the requirements for obtaining a study permit is proving that you have sufficient funds to cover 100% of your tuition plus at least $20,635 for living expenses. Therefore, international students in Canada should not need a student loan.
-
Can international students pay in installments in Canada?
Monthly installments are uncommon for international students in Canada. However, payment terms are determined by each institution, so it’s best to contact them directly for specific details.
Typically, each semester's tuition is paid in full at it's beginning. This means annual tuition can usually be divided into three installments, due at the beginning of September, January, and June.
-
Can I get a Canada visa without an interview?
Generally, Canada visa procedures do not require a separate and exclusive interview process. Most applicants can obtain a visa without undergoing a formal interview, provided all required documents are submitted correctly and all formalities are met.
However, an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officer has the right to request an interview if the application is incomplete or if there are suspicions of false or misleading information
