Studying in Canada as a Minor
Applying for a study permit for a minor
Generally, if you’re applying for a study permit for a minor (even at the primary or secondary school level), you need to provide a letter of acceptance from the educational institution in Canada that the child is going to. You may provide either the original letter of acceptance or an electronic version.
Minor children don’t need a study permit for programs that are 6 months or less, but may still apply for one before entering Canada. Minor children who want to study for 6 months or more must apply for a study permit before they enter Canada.
