Who Can Register

To be eligible to register in a SSILS program and receive your study and/or work permit you must meet the following conditions:

  • You must have a Letter of Acceptance from SSILS;
  • Your intended employment must be an essential part of your program of study in Canada;
  • Your employment must be part of your academic program, certified by a letter from an official at SSILS;
  • Your co-op employment cannot be more than 50 percent of the total program of study;
  • You must be 18 years of age or older.

How to Register

Current processing times for permitting within Canada are 30 to 50 days. For applicants overseas, your Study Permit will be processed at your Canadian Embassy responsible for your country. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for processing. Applicants who require a Temporary Resident Visa to travel to Canada must request this at the same time as their Study Permit.

Many of our students decide to arrive in Canada earlier than their expected start date to ensure that they are prepared and settled in their new surroundings before beginning their program.
