Studying in Canada

An International Student does not require a study permit in order to take online courses at LCVA. However, if you plan on entering Canada in order to study in Canada, you may need a study permit, and/or a temporary resident visa. However, not everyone coming to Canada to study requires a study permit. For example, you do not require a study permit to go to school in Canada if you wish to study in a short-term course or program that lasts six months or less. Contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada if you wish to explore study permits in more detail. That being said, you do not need a study permit to take an online course with LCVA.
