Visa requirements
Important Links
As a future international student, you must apply for your study permit and receive approval before beginning your journey to Canada.
Applying for your visa/study permit
Once you’ve received your Letter of Acceptance to ICM, you should apply for your study permit as soon as possible to be sure you arrive at ICM in time to attend Orientation!
Do not delay your visa application, as application processing times can take weeks or even several months. To check the average processing time for your country, please consult the Government of Canada’s website at cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp.
For more information about applying for a study permit, visit www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study.asp or meet with your educational agent (if applicable). Note that students under the age of 18 are considered minors in Manitoba and typically require a Custodian/Guardian.
