International students beginning their studies at a Canadian post-secondary school this fall will be thrilled to learn that the Government of Canada has announced guaranteed study permit processing times for the upcoming semester! This is a very positive development helping offer a new level of certainty around study permit applications for the upcoming fall semester.
Students who submit a complete study permit application by May 15, 2021 will receive a decision by August 6, 2021, in time to begin their studies for the fall 2021 semester. Details on what constitutes a complete study permit application can be found on the Government of Canada website.
