Normally, all temporary residents in Canada are required to have valid study permit to pursue studies longer than 6 months in duration from within Canada.

However, on June 27, 2023, the government of Canada announced a temporary measure allowing certain work permit holders to pursue studies without a study permit.

To determine if you are eligible to study in Canada for longer than 6 months, please visit the IRCC policy webpage.
