What Parents Should Know Before Applying

Studying in Canada as a minor involves requirements that can vary based on the child's age, location, family circumstances, and intended studies. Understanding the key requirements can help families prepare and plan with greater clarity.

Know the Application Age

The age at which a person is considered a minor varies by province or territory in Canada. Understanding the applicable age requirements is an important first step.

Know When It's Required

Minor children who intend to study in Canada for more than six months generally need a study permit before entering Canada, subject to applicable rules and exceptions.

Plan for Your Child's Care

Children under 17 generally need to come to Canada with a parent or legal guardian or have a designated custodian in Canada who can provide the required care and support.

Individual Requirements

The documents and requirements applicable to a minor can vary depending on factors such as their age, location, parent or guardian status, intended studies, and individual circumstances.
