Important Tips
Many documents will need to be certified by an authorized person such as a notary public or Canadian diplomatic mission. Make multiple copies of all important documents and keep digital backups.
All non-English or non-French documents must be accompanied by certified translations. In Canada, both English and French are official languages, so documents in either language are acceptable.
Canadian authorities require proof that you can support yourself during your studies. For study permits, you'll need to show you have enough money for tuition fees plus living expenses. The Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) option is popular among international students.
