Study Permit-Where to apply-General R213,214,215
a foreign national must apply SP before entering Canada.
For overseas applications, if the application for a SP is approved, a TRV or eTA is
issued automatically. There is no separate fee or application for a TRV or eTA
[R296(2) and R294.1(2)] with a study permit application.
Foreign nationals may submit an application package for a study permit by doing
one of the following:
#applying online (electronic applications [e-apps])
applying through a visa application centre (VAC)
, TRV-required foreign nationals
For TRV-required foreign nationals, including those eligible to apply for an eTA
through eTA expansion, the TRV should be issued for multiple entries. It should be
valid for the same period as the study permit or passport, whichever expires first,
unless otherwise specified.
For eTA-required foreign nationals
For eTA-required foreign nationals, the eTA is valid for 5 years from the date of
issuance or until the foreign national's passport expires, whichever occurs first,
regardless of whether or not this date is after the expiry date of the study permit.
Who should not be issued an eTA
An eTA should not be issued with a study permit renewal if the foreign national
has an unenforced removal order
has been issued a status document stating that "this document does not confer
temporary resident status"
has overstayed their authorized period of stay
is a temporary resident permit (TRP) holder and is inadmissible to Canada
In all of the above cases, officers must cancel all valid eTAs, including those issued
through the expansion of eTA.
