How we help you study in Canada
Questions about studying here
What is a provincial attestation letter?
A letter from the province confirming your place within Canada's study permit limits. Most new students need one, and your university or college usually arranges it.
Will I be able to work after graduating?
Many graduates qualify for a post-graduation work permit. Eligibility depends on your institution and programme, so we check this before you apply.
How much money do I need to show?
Your first year's tuition plus a set amount for living costs, which the Canadian government updates regularly. We will give you the current figure.
