Getting your visa for an English course in Vancouver
For English study programmes under six months, EU passport holders need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). EU passport holders planning to study in Vancouver for longer than six months will need a Canadian study permit. The application process typically takes 4-8 weeks, and you'll need an acceptance letter from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and proof of financial support. You don't need a separate visa—the study permit authorises both entry and study in Canada.
Contact our team for personalised guidance on your study permit application and to ensure you have everything needed for a smooth arrival and stay in Vancouver.
