Dear
PL
Your application to study in Canada has been approved. A permit authorizing your studies will be
issued to you on your arrival to Canada following an examination by an officer of the Canada
Border Services Agency, subject to your compliance with the requirements of the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Act and its Regulations. The officer will ask to see this letter, your passport
and may request to see your supporting documents, such as the letter of acceptance from your
educational institution. Do not pack these or other valuable papers in your checked luggage. You
can find out more about which documents you will need to bring with you by visiting
M
www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-arriving.asp .
• This letter is not a passport or travel document. You will not be permitted to board your
flight without
your passport, even if you have this letter with you.
• This letter is important because it contains information that will be used by the Canada
Border Services Agency to issue your study permit. Please do not misplace it.
You must seek entry to Canada to obtain your study permit by (yyyy/mm/dd). Your
passport must be valid beyond the period you intend to remain in Canada. If not, the validity of
your study permit will not be issued beyond the expiry date of your passport, or, for United States
citizens and permanent residents, the validity date of your identity document.
Note: As an international student in Canada, it is your responsibility to ensure that you continue
to meet the conditions of your study permit, including the requirement to actively pursue studies.
Your study permit will automatically become invalid 90 days after you complete your study
program, regardless of the expiry date indicated on your study permit. For more information,
please consult: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/index.asp .
Validity (YYYY/MM/DD):
Must enter Canada by (YYYY/MM/DD):
If you are from a country/territory which requires a temporary resident visa (TRV)
( http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp ), you have also been issued a visa. This visa has
been affixed in your passport, and is valid for multiple visits to Canada until it expires. If you
obtain a new passport before your visa expires, you will need to apply for a new visa. You may do
so by visiting www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/visa.asp.
Other than United States citizens, if you are from a country/territory which does NOT require a
temporary resident visa (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp ), or if you are a permanent
resident of the United States, you have also been issued an Electronic Travel Authorization
(eTA). Your eTA is valid for multiple visits to Canada, until (yyyy/mm/dd). Your eTA
E
number is and is linked to the passport you used when you applied to study in
Canada. If you obtain a new passport before (yyyy/mm/dd), you will need to apply
for a new eTA by visiting www.canada.ca/eTA .
PL
If you are a United States citizen, you are not required to obtain an eTA or a TRV. United States
citizens who do not have a passport may show their United States birth certificate or certificate of
naturalization. United States permanent residents entering Canada from the United States may
present their alien resident “green” card, instead of a passport.
In some provinces or territories, students are not eligible for public health insurance. You must
ensure that you and any dependants have adequate health care insurance or financial resources
M
to cover possible contingencies. Further information is available from the ministry of health of the
province or territory in which you intend to study.
