Study permits, done right the first time
Most study permit refusals come down to four things an officer weighs. VisaTriage checks all four against real IRCC criteria and tells you exactly what to fix — before you pay the non-refundable fee.
The four pillars of a study permit
Get all four right and your application is submission-ready.
Acceptance & PAL/TAL
A valid Letter of Acceptance from a DLI, plus your Provincial/Territorial Attestation Letter where required.
Proof of funds
Enough for tuition plus living costs, from a clean source, with a history an officer will trust.
Study plan / SOP
A convincing statement: why this program, why Canada, why now — and how it fits your career.
Ties & return intent
Evidence you will leave when your permit ends regardless of future PR plans — the single biggest refusal driver.

Study permit FAQ
How much proof of funds do I need?
It depends on your tuition and province. VisaTriage checks your figures against the current IRCC threshold for your situation and flags shortfalls.
Was I refused before — can I still apply?
Yes. Address the exact refusal reasons head-on. VisaTriage can map your refusal or GCMS notes to concrete fixes.
Is this legal advice?
No. VisaTriage is a document-preparation and self-representation tool. For legal advice or representation, we connect you with a licensed RCIC or immigration lawyer.
