Amidst Canada’s continually evolving immigration regulations, choosing the right college or university, province, and academic program can feel overwhelming. At SKJ Travel Agency, we understand these challenges and are committed to guiding you through every step of the process.

Our experienced team is dedicated to helping you find the educational institution and program that best align with your academic goals and long-term career aspirations. With our expertise and personalized approach, we simplify the process, enabling you to make confident and well-informed decisions.

When selecting a college or university, it is essential to ensure that the institution is a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in order to qualify for a Canadian study permit. Applicants with CXC subjects, associate degrees, or bachelor’s degrees must upload their transcripts to the school’s portal. In some cases, proof of English (or French) language proficiency is also required. This may involve completing a Canadian-approved language test such as IELTS, CELPIP, or PTE. Once your application is reviewed and you meet all requirements, you will receive an official letter of acceptance.

Most institutions require payment of the first semester or full first-year tuition fees before you can apply for your study permit. As per Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) guidelines, a single applicant must show proof of at least CAD 22,895 in available funds, in addition to covering first-year tuition and travel expenses. Demonstrating financial readiness is a crucial step in your journey.

At SKJ Travel Agency, we are committed to being your trusted partner in navigating the process of studying in Canada. Once your financial preparedness is in place, you are well on your way to achieving your academic ambitions with confidence.

Now that you have gotten your acceptance letter, its time to gather all the other required documents.

Below is a list of required documents that you will need:

• A valid passport (should be valid for the duration of your study)

• An acceptance letter (from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI))

• You may be required to supply a medical exam to prove you are in good health

• You may need to supply a police clearance certificate to prove you are a law-abiding citizen

• Statement of purpose (this is a detailed letter explaining your reasons for choosing Canada and the institution etc.)

• Evidence that you can financially support yourself/ any accompanying family for the duration of your stay in Canada. This sum includes tuition fees, living expenses, and return transportation home.  As of January 2024 a single applicant must shows CAD 20,635, in addition to first-year tuition and travel expenses
