Free first counselling for Canada study
Choose a college or university, secure your letter of acceptance and PAL, build a funds file IRCC can follow, and file your study permit with one team in Gujarat.
Book your free counselling
Your first counselling session is free.
Quick answer
Get a letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution, then, unless you are exempt, a provincial attestation letter that your institution requests for you. Build your proof of funds: first-year tuition, travel and, for a single student outside Quebec, C$23,448 for living costs at the time of writing. Consider an upfront medical exam with a panel physician. Apply online through your IRCC account, paying the CAD 150 study permit fee and CAD 85 for biometrics, then give fingerprints at the Ahmedabad visa application centre within 30 days of your letter. Our Canada study visa from Gujarat guide walks through each step.
What we do for you
Canada now caps study permit applications, and IRCC reads every file as a whole. Our job is to make your acceptance letter, attestation letter, money and plan line up so an officer can follow them easily.
Diploma, postgraduate certificate, bachelor's or master's: the level you pick decides your costs, whether you need a PAL and what work permit may follow. We compare the options against your marks and budget before you apply.
Institutions set their own minimum scores. We plan your test, with IELTS coaching or PTE coaching where needed, so the result arrives before the November and January application rush.
Once you accept an offer and pay the deposit the institution asks for, we follow up on the attestation letter. Every document must point to the same institution and program, because a PAL from a school you dropped will not help you.
We help you decide between a GIC, an education loan, savings or a mix, and gather the income and account history that shows where the money came from, not only how much there is.
Officers look at whether your program follows sensibly from your studies and work. We help you explain that in your own words, including any gap or change of field.
We plan the panel physician exam, prepare the online application with you, and track the 30 day window on your Biometric Instruction Letter so nothing lapses during exams.
Your file
These are the papers most Gujarat students upload or carry, and what each one proves. Your institution or IRCC may ask for more depending on your case.
| Document | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Valid passport | Your identity document for the whole application. Keep it valid well beyond your course end date. |
| Letter of acceptance | Issued by a designated learning institution. It names the program, level and start date the officer assesses. |
| Provincial attestation letter (PAL) | Confirms a place within the province's share of the cap. Needed by most non-master's students; Quebec uses a CAQ instead. |
| Proof of funds | First-year tuition, travel and C$23,448 living costs for a single student outside Quebec, at the time of writing. |
| GIC certificate, if you choose one | One accepted form of proof, not compulsory since the Student Direct Stream ended. |
| Education loan sanction letter | Shows a bank has committed the money. The amount and your name must match the rest of the file. |
| Upfront medical exam | India is on IRCC's list, so a panel physician exam is needed if you lived here 6 months or more in the past year and will stay longer than 6 months. |
| Biometric Instruction Letter | Arrives after you pay the CAD 85 fee. Take it and your passport to the centre within 30 days. |
Before you apply
Four facts that change how you plan, taken from canada.ca at the time of writing.
| Topic | What IRCC says |
|---|---|
| Intakes | September (Fall) is the largest, with January (Winter) and a smaller May (Summer). See our Canada fall 2027 intake timeline. |
| Study permit cap | Most students need a PAL. Master's and doctoral students at public institutions are exempt from January 1, 2026. |
| Work while studying | Up to 24 hours a week off campus during regular sessions and unlimited hours during scheduled breaks, for eligible full-time students. |
| After graduation | A post-graduation work permit needs a program of at least 8 months and an application within 180 days of completion. Degree graduates need CLB 7 in English; college graduates need CLB 5. Programs of 2 years or more, and master's programs of at least 8 months, can lead to a 3-year permit. Read our PGWP rules guide. |

Most college, bachelor's and postgraduate certificate students do. From January 1, 2026, IRCC exempts students going into a master's or doctoral program at a public designated learning institution. Your college or university requests the letter for you, and Quebec uses its own CAQ instead. Our guide to the provincial attestation letter covers the exceptions.
For applications received on or after September 1, 2026, IRCC asks a single student studying outside Quebec to show C$23,448 for a year of living costs, plus first-year tuition and travel. Quebec sets its own amounts. Check IRCC's proof of financial support page before you apply, as the figure is updated each year.
No. Since the Student Direct Stream closed on 8 November 2024, a GIC is one accepted proof of funds among several, alongside education loans, bank statements with a clear source and paid tuition receipts. Read our Canada GIC explainer if you are weighing one up.
At the Canada visa application centre in Ahmedabad. After you pay the CAD 85 biometrics fee with your online application, you receive a Biometric Instruction Letter and have 30 days from its date to attend with the letter and your passport.
Eligible full-time students at a designated learning institution can work up to 24 hours a week off campus during regular academic sessions and unlimited hours during scheduled breaks, once their studies have started. Treat it as help with daily costs, not as a way to pay tuition or meet the funds requirement.
No. Only an IRCC officer decides, and even a provincial attestation letter is not an approval. What we can do is make sure your acceptance letter, PAL, funds and study plan all point to the same institution and program and tell one consistent story.
Bring your offer letter, test scores and a rough budget, and we will map out your PAL, funds and study permit dates. The first session is free. Call +91 75740 33366.
