Document background
The Student Visa Form is a mandatory document required by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for all international students planning to study in Canada for periods longer than six months. This form is essential for obtaining a study permit and must be completed accurately and thoroughly to avoid processing delays or rejection. The document collects detailed information about the applicant's identity, educational plans, financial resources, and background checks as required by Canadian immigration law. It must be accompanied by supporting documentation including acceptance letters from Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs), proof of financial support, and other required evidence. The form's requirements are established under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and its regulations, with specific provisions for different provinces, particularly Quebec. Special considerations apply for minor students, who require additional custodianship documentation.
