Yes, you can apply for a study permit if you’re already in Canada. I did during my time.
During my visit to Canada, I decided I wanted to study there. I first applied for admission, got offered admission and got my confirmation of enrollment.
I also discovered that it’s possible to apply for a study permit while already in the country, provided you meet study permit requirements like having a letter of acceptance from a DLI.
I submitted my application online through the IRCC portal, which included my acceptance letter, proof of funds, and other required documents.
One more thing, the process was straightforward, and it was a relief to manage everything from within Canada without needing to return home first.
Of course, you can, if you’re already in Canada, you can apply for a study permit without leaving the country. First, ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements for a study permit.
You need a letter of acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and other documents according to IRCC.
Then apply online through the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website. You’ll attach all the required documents like your proof of financial support and acceptance letter.
