How is the process to get a study permit in Canada?

Hello friends. I'm from southamerica but right now I'm studying in Alaska. I'm in love with Canada since I saw how Michael Moore show the country in Bowling For Columbine (then I did my own research and found out beautiful Canada) and I want to live there really bad. I wanna apply to a college in the Yukon province but I was wondering if sombody knew the financial requirements to obtain the study permit. Is it like in the US that you have to prove that you have money to pay your study expenses for a year or can you just pay for the first semester and show to the embsassy the invoice of such payment? I don't know, if anybody knows I really appreciate it your help.

How is the process to get a study permit in Canada?
You first select a program of study, and contact their office. They will be able to give you details about their admission process, and may also be able to advice you about getting a study permit.





For example, here is the Yukon College information for international students:





"Yukon College offers a number of programs and courses of interest to foreign students. Among these are a variety of options in English as a Second Language, as well as various full-time programs with industrial applications or academic transfer. The tuition fee for credit courses is $250.00 per credit hour. Some program offerings, including English as a Second Language, may have a different tuition or include an activity fee. International student applications are available on our website or send email to the Educational Travel Facilitator. For information about Residence and homestay, contact the Homestay Facilitator."

Be aware that educational opportunities in Yukon (and in northern Canada generally) are limited. You may decide that southern Canada has more opportunities for you. This is especially true if you hope to apply for graduate studies. That said, living in Canada's north can be a wonderful experience, and the benefits can be quite rewarding.





In your application for a study visa, you will need to prove you have money to pay for your education (e.g. bank statements, a scholarship award letter). You should NOT pay the college first, because your study visa may be denied. The Citizenship and Immigration Canada website will help you; look at the application form, which you can download as a PDF file.





One last thing: Michael Moore did give a flattering portrayal of Canada, but his scope was very limited. Canada is a larger, more complicated place than you saw in the movie. While the movie may make you interested in coming to Canada, use other information to make your decision to move there.
