What’s inside
Applying for admission

Your study permit

Money and budgeting
Tuition, living costs and proof of funds, opening a Canadian bank account, and building a realistic first-year budget.
Arriving and settling in
What happens at the border, finding housing, getting your SIN, a phone plan and health coverage — and getting ready for your first winter.
Working during and after your studies
The rules for working on and off campus, co-op terms, the Post-Graduation Work Permit, and pathways to permanent residence.
